Study Notes
Machine Learning Overview
- Machine Learning (ML) focuses on algorithms capable of learning from data to enhance predictions and decision-making.
- A program learns from experience E in relation to tasks T and performance measure P; performance improves as experience increases.
Learning Problem Components
- Task: The specific behavior being optimized, such as classification or environmental interaction.
- Data: Experiences utilized to enhance task performance, with improvements measured by accuracy or efficiency gains.
Learning Approaches
- Black-box Learner: Utilizes data and past experiences to understand problems/tasks without explicit programming.
- Models: Learners develop models based on experiences to reason and make predictions about tasks.
Applications of Machine Learning
- Medicine: Diagnostic algorithms that analyze symptoms, lab measurements, and historical records to predict responses to treatments.
- Vision Tasks: Systems that identify objects in images, convert handwritten characters, or detect object locations.
- Robot Control: Autonomous robots learning behaviors through experience, like playing soccer or navigating environments.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Technologies that recognize entity mentions, facts, and sentiment in text.
- Financial Forecasting: Algorithms that predict stock performance and user behavior regarding ad engagement.
Business Intelligence Applications
- Sales forecasting using classification techniques for discrete outcomes or regression for continuous predictions.
Classification and Regression Examples
- Classification: Credit scoring assessments distinguishing between low-risk and high-risk clients based on financial data.
- Regression: Predicting used car prices based on attributes such as mileage and features.
Features and Data Representations
- Features: Quantifiable properties of observations, which can be categorical, ordinal, or numerical in nature.
- Feature Vector: A multi-dimensional representation of an instance's features for computational analysis.
Hypothesis Space and Inductive Learning
- Hypothesis Space: The theoretical space encompassing all valid hypotheses a learning algorithm can produce.
- Inductive Learning: Given function examples, the goal is to predict new instances using either classification (discrete) or regression (continuous).
Terminology
- Training Data: Collected examples that the learning algorithm observes to find predictive patterns.
- Target Function f: A function mapping each instance to its respective label or outcome.
- Instance Space X: The complete set of objects that can be described by features.
Representation Methods
- Decision Trees: Graphical models that split data based on feature values.
- Linear Functions: Mathematical models representing relationships between features and outcomes.
- Neural Networks: Complex architectures for deep learning, accommodating single or multi-layer configurations to learn from large datasets.
Classification and Hypothesis Concepts
- Hypothesis h: A function that approximates the target function f for labeling instances.
- Language Bias: Restriction on the hypothesis space, limiting the functions that can approximate outcomes.
