    Study Notes

    Introduction to Machine Learning

    • Machine learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) enabling computers to learn from data without explicit programming.
    • ML algorithms identify patterns, make predictions, or decisions based on input data, rather than relying on pre-programmed rules.
    • ML algorithms adapt and improve performance over time with more data.

    Types of Machine Learning

    • Supervised Learning:
      • Learns from labeled data, where each input data point has an associated known output.
      • Maps input features to output labels.
      • Examples include classification and regression.
    • Unsupervised Learning:
      • Learns from unlabeled data where no output labels are associated with input data points.
      • Aims to find inherent patterns or structures.
      • Examples include clustering and dimensionality reduction.
    • Reinforcement Learning:
      • Learns through trial and error interactions with an environment.
      • Receives rewards for desirable actions and penalties for undesirable actions, to maximise cumulative rewards.
      • Example: training robots to navigate environments.

    Key Concepts in Machine Learning

    • Data: Foundation of machine learning, high-quality, relevant data is crucial.
    • Model: Represents the relationship between input data and output predictions.
    • Algorithm: Set of rules to train the model on the data.
    • Training: Process of adjusting model parameters using input data to improve performance.
    • Evaluation: Assessing model performance on unseen data using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC.
    • Overfitting: Model performs extremely well on training data but poorly on unseen data.
    • Underfitting: Model performs poorly on both training and unseen data, indicating inadequate complexity.

    Applications of Machine Learning

    • Image Recognition: Identifying objects, faces, or scenes in images.
    • Natural Language Processing (NLP): Enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.
    • Recommendation Systems: Suggest products or content based on user preferences.
    • Fraud Detection: Identifying fraudulent transactions.
    • Medical Diagnosis: Assisting doctors with diagnoses using patient data.
    • Financial Modeling: Predicting market trends or assessing credit risk.
    • Autonomous Vehicles: Enables self-driving cars to navigate and react to the environment.

    Machine Learning Algorithms

    • Linear Regression: Predicts continuous values based on one or more variables.
    • Logistic Regression: Classifies categorical outcomes.
    • Decision Trees: Model making decisions based on a series of rules.
    • Support Vector Machines (SVMs): Classification and regression algorithm, effective with high-dimensional data.
    • Naive Bayes: Simple probabilistic classifier based on Bayes' theorem.
    • K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN): Classifies data points based on the label of nearest neighbors.
    • Clustering Algorithms (e.g., k-means): Groups data points with similar characteristics without predefined labels.

    Challenges in Machine Learning

    • Data quality: Inaccurate, incomplete, or biased data leads to ineffective models.
    • Computational resources: Training complex models requires significant computing power and time.
    • Model interpretability: Some algorithms, especially deep learning models, are hard to understand and trust.
    • Privacy concerns: Machine learning models, requiring access to sensitive data, raise privacy issues.
    • Bias and fairness: Models can inherit and amplify biases present in training data.
    • Security risks: Malicious actors can exploit vulnerabilities in machine learning systems.
    • Explainable AI (XAI): Developing ML models with transparent and understandable decision-making processes.
    • Federated Learning: Training ML models on decentralized data while maintaining privacy.
