Study Notes
Machine Learning Overview
- Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI), allowing systems to learn from data without explicit programming.
- Key applications of ML include sales forecasting, fraud analysis, product recommendations, and stock price prediction.
Importance of Mathematics in Machine Learning
- All computations in ML are executed in matrix format, enabling effective data processing.
- Understanding mathematical representations of data is crucial for evaluation metrics like precision, recall, and error rates.
Linear Algebra
- Vectors: Represent quantities with both magnitude and direction. Examples include velocity and temperature change.
- Physical vs. Mathematical Approaches: Vectors can be described in terms of speed (magnitude only) or velocity (magnitude with direction).
- Magnitude Calculation: The distance between starting and endpoint is calculated mathematically to determine a vector's magnitude and angle using trigonometry.
Matrices
- Matrices: Represent data in a structured format, using rows and columns (e.g., 3x3, 2x2 matrices).
- Types of Matrices: Include varied shapes, with specific applications based on row-column arrangements.
- Transpose of a Matrix: Created by flipping rows and columns, useful in various ML workflows.
Vector Operations
- Addition and Subtraction: Vectors can be added or subtracted to yield new vectors, maintaining directionality.
Data Encoding for Categorical Data
- Categorical variables represent groups and are non-numerical, needing conversion to numerical values for ML applications.
- Example Categorical Variables: Gender (Male, Female), Marital Status (Married, Single), Occupation (Teacher, Engineer, Doctor).
- Encoding Techniques:
- Label Encoding: Assigns integers to categorical variables but risks model bias.
- One-Hot Encoding: Generates binary columns for each category to eliminate bias by ensuring no natural ordering.
Data Standardization
- Essential when features vary significantly or are measured in different units.
- Z-Score Standardization: Involves adjusting values based on the mean and standard deviation, ensuring comparable scales among features.
- Normalization vs. Standardization:
- Normalization scales based on minimum and maximum values.
- Standardization relies on mean and standard deviation.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence
- Common AI Applications: Include machine translation (e.g., Google Translate), self-driving vehicles (e.g., Tesla), AI robots (e.g., Sophia, Aibo), and speech recognition (e.g., Siri).
- AI can be categorized into non-intelligence (task-oriented, no decision-making) and intelligence machines (capable of autonomous decision-making).
Recap of Data Challenges in Machine Learning
- Key problems in data that affect modeling include outliers, missing values, duplicate data, data imbalance, and data bias.
Exercises and Practical Application
- Suggested tasks involve conducting exploratory data analysis, managing missing values, feature encoding, and splitting data into training/testing datasets for model training.
