Study Notes
Learning from Data Lecture 2
- Topics covered in the lecture include Data Integration, Learning from Data, Supervised Learning, and Linear Regression.
- Data scientists spend a significant amount of time cleaning and organizing data (60%), followed by collecting data sets (19%).
- Building training sets (3%), mining data for patterns (9%), and refining algorithms (4%) are other common tasks.
- Data Integration is combining data from heterogeneous sources to a single coherent data store.
- It provides consistent access and delivery for different subject types and data structures.
- Data sources are often disparate and siloed, requiring access across various sub-systems (e.g., hardware, software applications, operating systems).
- Data Integration: Strategies include common user interfaces, middleware data integration, application-based integration, uniform data access, and common data storage (data warehouses).
- Supervised learning is the most common form of machine learning.
- The task is to learn a mapping function (f) from inputs (x ∈ X) to outputs (y ∈ Y).
- Inputs are also referred to as features, covariates, or predictors.
- Outputs are also referred to as labels, target, or response variables.
- Examples of supervised learning include image recognition (e.g., identifying cats versus dogs), and predicting movie revenue based on budget.
- Unsupervised learning focuses on finding patterns within data without predefined labels.
- Examples include clustering (grouping data points) and dimensionality reduction (reducing the number of variables to extract essential information).
- There is an example of electricity usage patterns across houses over time which can be clustered in different groups.
- Types of Supervised Learning: Regression (quantitative response), and Classification (qualitative response).
- Regression models are the foundation for modeling any continuous target.
- Examples of continuous variables include loss, revenue, number of years.
- Classification involves identifying which set of categories an observation belongs to.
- An example includes identifying different types of iris flowers (setosa, versicolor, and virginica).
- Linear Regression: A simple linear regression model has two parameters (β0 and β1).
- β0 is the Y-intercept and β1 is the slope of the regression line.
- The loss function (J(y, yp)) quantitatively measures the quality of predictions, aiming at minimizing differences between predicted and actual values.
