Study Notes
Introduction to Machine Learning
- Machine learning (ML) is the science (and art) of programming computers to learn from data.
- ML gives computers the ability to learn without explicit programming.
- A program learns from experience with respect to a task T and a performance measure P, improving with experience E.
Objectives
- What is machine learning?
- Why use machine learning?
- Types of machine learning systems
Why Use Machine Learning?
- Traditional programming approach to spam filtering requires detailed rules for each pattern. ML-based spam filters learn these patterns from data.
- The ML approach involves studying the problem, training an algorithm with data, evaluating the solution, and analyzing errors, iterating until it is sufficient.
- ML systems can adapt to changing data, unlike traditional rule-based systems which are fixed.
Types of Machine Learning Systems
- Supervised Learning: The training data includes desired outputs (labels). Examples include classification (e.g., spam filter) and regression (e.g., predicting car prices).
- Unsupervised Learning: The training data is unlabeled. Examples include clustering (grouping similar data points) and anomaly detection.
- Semi-supervised Learning: A combination of supervised and unsupervised learning, using both labeled and unlabeled data.
- Reinforcement Learning: The system learns through trial and error by interacting with an environment and receiving rewards or penalties.
Supervised Learning Algorithms
- k-Nearest Neighbors
- Linear Regression
- Logistic Regression
- Support Vector Machines (SVMs)
- Decision Trees and Random Forests
- Neural Networks
Unsupervised Learning
- Methods include clustering, anomaly detection, and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA)
- Algorithms like K-Means, DBSCAN, One-class SVM, and Isolation Forest.
Clustering
- A method of grouping similar data points into clusters based on their features.
Anomaly Detection
- Identifying unusual or abnormal data points in a dataset.
Semi-supervised learning
- Uses both labeled and unlabeled data to train models.
Reinforcement Learning
- A system learns by interacting with an environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties. The goal is to learn an optimal strategy (policy) that maximizes cumulative rewards.
Batch vs Online Learning
- Batch learning: Training the system with all the data at once, typically offline. It does not adapt to new data easily.
- Online learning: Training the system incrementally, using new data as it arrives. Can adapt to new data on the fly.
- Offline Learning = Batch Learning.
Instance-Based vs Model-Based Learning
- Instance-based learning: The system memorizes the training examples and uses them for predictions.
- Model-based learning: The system builds a model or representation of the training data to make predictions.
Main Challenges of Machine Learning
- Insufficient quantity of training data.
- Nonrepresentative training data.
- Poor quality data.
- Irrelevant features.
- Overfitting the training data.
- Underfitting the training data.
- Stepping Back.
- Testing and validation.
