Machine Learning: Classifier
- Function that takes input data and returns a class label
- Example: Fruit classifier -> identifies fruit type (apple, etc.); Email classifier -> determines spam or not
- Algorithms for classifiers may include: Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), & Neural Networks
Machine Learning: Learning Data
- Training set: Used to fit model parameters
- Validation set: Used to check performance on independent data and tune parameters
- Test set: Final evaluation of performance fixed parameters
Machine Learning: Learning Types
-
Supervised: Task-driven, input and output (labels)
- Classification: Categorizing into predefined labels -Example: Email classification, image classification, spam filtering, predicting numerical values —Regression—Predicting continuous values -Example—predicting house prices, forecasting stock prices
-
Unsupervised: Data-driven, no labeled outputs (labels)
- Clustering: Grouping data into clusters —Dimensionality Reduction—Simplifying data by finding key characteristics -Example—customer segmentation, anomaly detection
- Reinforcement: Learning through experience and rewards —Example—Game Al, robotics, navigation
When to Use Machine Learning
- When human expertise doesn't exist (e.g., navigating on mars)
- When humans can't explain their expertise (e.g., speech recognition)
- When customized models are needed (e.g., personalized medicine)
- When models are based on huge amounts of data (e.g., genomics)
Types of Tasks Solved by Machine Learning
- Recognizing patterns (e.g., facial identities, handwritten words, medical images)
- Generating patterns (e.g., images, motion sequences)
- Recognizing anomalies (e.g., unusual transactions, sensor readings)
- Prediction (e.g., stock prices, currency exchange rates)
Sample Applications

- E-commerce
- Space exploration
- Robotics
- Information extraction
- Social networks
- Debugging software
- Other areas of interest
What is Learning?
- Gaining knowledge, understanding, or skills through study, instruction, or experience; Includes
- Learning new facts:
- Learning "how" to do something:
- Improving a learned ability
What is Machine Learning?
- Algorithms that allow machines to improve performance on tasks from experience
- Traditionally, programs were given data and a specific program to generate outputs
- Now, programs receive data and an algorithm to estimate the function to generate outputs
Steps in Machine Learning
- Data collection
- Representation
- Modeling (creating the statistical model
- Estimation (fitting the model to the data)
- Validation (testing the model's ability to predict unseen data)
- Apply model to new test data
General Structure of a Machine Learning System
- Data input
- Learning process
- Problem solving
- Feedback/performance evaluation
Advantages and Disadvantages of Machine Learning
-
Advantages:
- Solving complex problems in vision and inference, utilizing common sense Al, reducing constraints over time to achieve complete autonomy.
-
Disadvantages:
- Application specific algorithms
- Real-world problems may have too many variables, making sensors noisy
- High computational complexity.
Types of Machine Learning
- Supervised
- Unsupervised
- Reinforcement
- Semi-supervised
Types of Supervised Learning Algorithms
- Regression: Predicts continuous output values (e.g., house price, temperature)
- Classification: Predicts categorical output values or labels (e.g., spam/not spam, customer purchase likelihood)
Generalization Error
- Bias: The difference between the average model across different training sets and the true model
- Variance: Variations in models estimated from different training sets
- Underfitting: Model too simple to capture relevant characteristics
- Overfitting: Model too complex; fits irrelevant characteristics
- Both high model bias and high model variance can lead to poor generalization/prediction accuracy
Features (for image analysis)
- Raw pixels
- Histograms
- GIST descriptors
