Study Notes
Machine Learning and Neural Networks
- Machine learning enables computers to learn patterns from data without explicit programming by humans.
- Neural networks, a prominent machine learning method, stem from research in the 1940s focused on mimicking human learning through the structure of the brain.
Structure of the Brain
- The brain is composed of interconnected neurons that communicate via electrical signals.
- Neurons process signals and can become activated, allowing them to propagate further signals to other neurons.
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)
- ANNs are mathematical models inspired by biological neural networks, designed to facilitate machine learning.
- Each neural network functions as a mathematical function mapping inputs to outputs based on its structure.
- The positioning and connection of units (or artificial neurons) within the network influence its functionality.
Functionality of ANNs
- ANNs learn to adjust their parameters to model the appropriate mathematical function for given input data.
- Input data examples include variables like weather characteristics (x1, x2) used to predict outcomes such as rain.
Hypothesis Function
- The hypothesis function represents predictions based on the weighted sum of input variables.
- It is expressed mathematically as:
- ( h = w_0 + w_1 \cdot x_1 + w_2 \cdot x_2 )
- This function helps determine binary classifications like whether it will rain or not based on the inputs provided.
