Study Notes
Machine Learning Introduction
- Machine learning is the science (and art) of programming computers to learn from data.
- A more general definition: Machine Learning is the field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.
- A computer program learns from experience E with respect to some task T and some performance measure P, if its performance on T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.
Traditional vs. Machine Learning Programming
- Traditional programming involves identifying patterns in data (e.g., words in spam emails) and creating rules to detect those patterns. The rules become complex and hard to maintain.
- Machine learning automatically learns patterns from data, requiring fewer, simpler rules that are easier to maintain. It identifies unusually frequent patterns in words or phrases within spam examples compared to "ham" (non-spam) examples.
Machine Learning as a Multi-Disciplinary Field
- Machine learning draws on various concepts and methodologies from multiple fields including statistics, mathematics, data mining, computer science, deep learning, natural language processing, artificial intelligence.
Types of Machine Learning Systems
- Supervision: Supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning.
- Incremental Learning: Batch or online learning
- Learning Methods: Instance-based versus model-based learning
Supervised Learning
- Classification: A supervised learning task where the system learns to classify new data points based on labeled examples (e.g., spam vs. non-spam).
- Regression: A supervised learning task predicting numeric values (e.g., predicting the price of a car based on features like mileage).
Attributes and Features
- An attribute is a data type (e.g., "Mileage"). A feature generally means an attribute plus its value (e.g., "Mileage = 15,000"). People often use these terms interchangeably.
Supervised Learning Algorithms
- Examples of supervised learning algorithms include k-Nearest Neighbors, Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Decision Trees, and Random Forests, and Neural networks.
