    Study Notes

    Introduction to Machine Learning

    • Machine learning is a field of study that enables computers to learn without explicit programming.
    • It is used by various companies like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and more for various tasks.

    Applications of Machine Learning

    • Virtual Personal Assistants: Assistants like Siri and Alexa use machine learning to understand and respond to user queries.
    • Traffic Predictions: Machine learning helps predict traffic congestion based on historical data.
    • Online Transport Networks: Platforms like Uber and Ola leverage machine learning to optimize routes and pricing.
    • Video Surveillance: Machines are trained to identify and track people and objects in videos.
    • Media Services: Some media streaming services personalize recommendations based on user viewing history.
    • Email Spam and Malware Filtering: Mail providers utilize machine learning to recognize and filter spam and harmful content.
    • Online Customer Support: Chatbots powered by machine learning provide automated customer assistance.
    • Medicine: Machine learning helps analyze medical images, support diagnosis, and predict patient outcomes.
    • Handwriting Recognition: Machines can learn to recognize different handwriting styles and translate them into text.
    • Machine Translation: Machine learning algorithms power translation services like Google Translate.
    • Computational Biology: Machine learning is used for research and discovery in the field of biology.
    • Driverless Cars & Autonomous Helicopters: Machine learning powers the autonomous navigation and decision-making systems of these vehicles.

    Defining Machine Learning

    • Arthur Samuel (1959) defined machine learning: "The field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed." (informal definition)
    • Tom Mitchell (1998) redefined machine learning: "A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measures P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E." (formal definition)

    Classification of Machine Learning Algorithms

    • Supervised Learning
    • Unsupervised Learning
    • Reinforcement Learning

    Supervised Learning

    • Supervised learning problems are categorized into:
      • Classification: Predicts categorical outcomes (e.g., win/loss in a match).
      • Regression: Predicts continuous values (e.g., house prices, student marks).
    • Supervised learning involves labeled datasets provided to the algorithm.

    Example: Supervised Learning (Breast Cancer Diagnosis)

    • Input Attributes: Tumor Size, Age, Mean Perimeter, Mean Area, Mean Smoothness
    • Output Attribute: Diagnosis (Benign or Malignant)
    • The machine learning model is trained on a set of labeled data, enabling it to learn and predict a new input's diagnosis.

    Unsupervised Learning

    • Unsupervised learning involves data without labels.
    • The algorithm identifies patterns and groups the data based on similarities.

    Example: Unsupervised Learning (Learning of Adam and Eve)

    • Adam and Eve, upon reaching Earth, grouped objects based on features like animate/non-animate status, color, shape, size, smell, taste, etc.

    Example: Unsupervised Learning (Modern Day Child)

    • A child learns through labeled objects and names.

    Comparison: Supervised vs. Unsupervised Learning

    • Supervised learning: Data is labeled with desired outputs.
    • Unsupervised learning: Data is unlabeled and the algorithm discovers patterns.

    Example: Unsupervised Learning (Google News)

    • Google News categorizes news stories into clusters based on their content using unsupervised learning.

    Reinforcement Learning

    • Reinforcement learning involves an agent interacting with an environment through trial and error.
    • The agent learns to select actions that maximize rewards.

    Components of Reinforcement Learning

    • Agent: Learns and makes decisions.
    • Environment: The outer world the agent interacts with.
    • Actions: The tasks the agent performs.

    Examples: Reinforcement Learning

    • Self-driving cars from Tesla Motors
    • Amazon's Prime Air delivery
    • Computer games where the machine plays against a human
    • Robot navigation
