Study Notes

Machine Learning

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence that involves training algorithms to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed.

Supervised Learning

  • Definition: Supervised learning is a type of machine learning where the algorithm is trained on labeled data, meaning the correct output is already known.
  • Goal: The goal is to learn a mapping between input data and the corresponding output labels, so the algorithm can make predictions on new, unseen data.
  • Types of problems: Classification (e.g. spam vs. not spam emails), Regression (e.g. predicting house prices).
  • Algorithms: Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Support Vector Machines (SVM).

Unsupervised Learning

  • Definition: Unsupervised learning is a type of machine learning where the algorithm is trained on unlabeled data, and it must find patterns or relationships on its own.
  • Goal: The goal is to discover hidden structures or relationships in the data, such as grouping similar data points together.
  • Types of problems: Clustering (e.g. customer segmentation), Dimensionality Reduction (e.g. PCA), Density Estimation.
  • Algorithms: K-Means, Hierarchical Clustering, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), t-SNE.

Neural Networks

  • Definition: A neural network is a machine learning model inspired by the structure and function of the human brain.
  • Components: Neurons (nodes), Connections (edges), Weights, Bias, Activation Functions.
  • Types: Feedforward Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN).
  • Training: Backpropagation, Gradient Descent, Optimization Algorithms.

Deep Learning

  • Definition: Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning that involves the use of neural networks with multiple layers to learn complex patterns in data.
  • Characteristics: Automatic feature learning, Hierarchical representations, Ability to learn from large datasets.
  • Applications: Image Recognition, Speech Recognition, Natural Language Processing.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

  • Definition: NLP is a subfield of artificial intelligence that deals with the interaction between computers and humans in natural language.
  • Tasks: Text Classification, Sentiment Analysis, Language Translation, Question Answering.
  • Techniques: Tokenization, Part-of-Speech Tagging, Named Entity Recognition, Dependency Parsing.
  • Deep Learning in NLP: Word Embeddings, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Networks.

Generative AI

  • Definition: Generative AI refers to the ability of machines to generate new, original data or content that is similar to a given dataset.
  • Types: Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Variational Autoencoders (VAE), Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN).
  • Applications: Image Generation, Data Augmentation, Style Transfer, Text Generation.
  • Challenges: Mode collapse, Unstable training, Evaluation metrics.
