Study Notes
Introduction to Machine Learning
- Machine Learning has broad applicability in daily life, including finance, entertainment, natural language processing, information retrieval, computer vision, robotics, healthcare, medicine, and biology.
- There is a close connection between theory and practice, and the field is open to new work, such as deep learning.
What Machine Learning Can Do
- Machine Learning enables "intelligent" machines to be "smarter" than humans.
- Examples of ML applications include IBM Watson Question Answering system, which beats Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings at Quiz bowl.
What is Learning?
- Learning is analogous to human learning, where you expect to "learn" a subject in a specific course.
- A good way to judge how well you do is by performing well on an exam that tests your ability to generalize.
Machine Learning Concepts
- Predicting the future based on the past is a key concept in Machine Learning.
- A program can be written to distinguish a picture of one person from another, or cancerous cells from normal cells, by providing examples and letting a classifier learn to distinguish.
Types of Machine Learning
- Supervised Learning: Training data includes desired outputs.
- Unsupervised Learning: Training data does not include desired outputs.
- Clustering, Dimensionality Reduction, Association, Classification, Regression, Ranking, and Reinforcement Learning are all types of Machine Learning.
Learning Process
- A trained model should be a good and useful approximation of the data.
- The learning process involves discovering patterns in data through model parameters.
- Each learning algorithm has a "bias" or inductive bias, which implies that some hypotheses are more probable than others.
