Study Notes
Introduction to Machine Learning
- Machine learning is a concept where machines can learn from past data and perform tasks that humans can do, but faster.
- It involves not only learning but also understanding and reasoning.
Understanding Paul's Choices
- Paul likes or dislikes songs based on tempo and intensity.
- When given a new song with fast tempo and soaring intensity, Paul will likely like it.
- When given a new song with medium tempo and medium intensity, it's unclear whether Paul will like it or not.
Basic Machine Learning Algorithm
- A simple machine learning algorithm is the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm.
- The KNN algorithm works by drawing a circle around the unknown song and counting the votes (likes or dislikes).
Types of Machine Learning
Supervised Learning
- Supervised learning involves using labeled data to train the model.
- Features (weights) are associated with labels (currency) in the example of coin classification.
- The model learns to predict the label based on the features.
Unsupervised Learning
- Unsupervised learning involves using unlabeled data to train the model.
- The model identifies patterns in the data, such as clustering players into batsmen and bowlers in cricket.
Reinforcement Learning
- Reinforcement learning is a reward-based learning method.
- The model learns from feedback and adjusts its predictions accordingly.
Machine Learning Model
- A machine learning model takes input, applies an algorithm, and gives output.
- If the output is incorrect, feedback is provided, and the model predicts again until it learns.
Applications of Machine Learning
- Facebook recognizes friends in pictures using supervised learning.
- Netflix recommends movies based on past choices using supervised learning.
- Analyzing bank data for suspicious transactions uses supervised learning.
- Machine learning is used in healthcare, sentiment analysis, fraud detection, and e-commerce.
- Uber uses surge pricing, which is a machine learning model that adjusts prices in real-time based on demand.
Machine Learning Fundamentals
- Machine learning enables machines to learn from past data and perform tasks that humans can do, but faster, involving learning, understanding, and reasoning.
Understanding Preferences
- Paul's song preferences are based on tempo and intensity, where he likes songs with fast tempo and soaring intensity.
K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) Algorithm
- KNN is a simple machine learning algorithm that works by drawing a circle around an unknown song and counting the votes (likes or dislikes).
Supervised Learning
- Supervised learning uses labeled data to train the model, associating features with labels, to predict labels based on features.
Unsupervised Learning
- Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data to train the model, identifying patterns in the data, such as clustering players into batsmen and bowlers in cricket.
Reinforcement Learning
- Reinforcement learning is a reward-based method where the model learns from feedback and adjusts its predictions accordingly.
Machine Learning Model
- A machine learning model takes input, applies an algorithm, and gives output, with feedback provided if the output is incorrect, allowing the model to predict again until it learns.
Applications of Machine Learning
- Machine learning is used in Facebook's friend recognition in pictures, Netflix's movie recommendations, and analyzing bank data for suspicious transactions.
- It is also used in healthcare, sentiment analysis, fraud detection, and e-commerce.
- Uber's surge pricing is a machine learning model that adjusts prices in real-time based on demand.
