    Study Notes

    Machine Learning and Data Science Process

    • Herbert Simon's definition of learning: "any process by which a system improves performance from experience"
    • Two ways to improve system performance:
      • Acquiring new knowledge (e.g. acquiring new facts)
      • Adapting its behavior (e.g. solving problems more accurately)

    Types of Machine Learning

    • Supervised learning: uses labeled examples with direct feedback
    • Unsupervised/clustering learning: no feedback, groups data into clusters
    • Semi-supervised: combines supervised and unsupervised learning, with some labeled data and mostly unlabeled data

    Supervised vs Unsupervised Learning

    • Supervised learning: can separate data into two groups with labeled data
    • Unsupervised learning: can separate data into two groups based on similarity/distance
    • Semi-supervised learning: combines both approaches

    Machine Learning Stages

    • Hypothesis
    • Data (training or learning)
    • Testing or generalization
    • Training: acquiring knowledge, skills, and competencies from examples/data
    • Testing: evaluating the performance of the learned system on unseen data

    Training and Testing

    • Training requires scenarios or examples (data)
    • Testing evaluates performance on unseen data
    • Cross-validation methods for small data sets
    • The more relevant data, the better

    Defining the Learning Task

    • Improve on task, T, with respect to performance metric, P, based on experience, E
    • Examples:
      • Recognizing hand-written words
      • Driving on four-lane highways using vision sensors
      • Categorizing email messages as spam or legitimate

    Classification Examples

    • Cancer diagnosis: classifying patients as malignant (M) or benign (B)
    • Breast cancer diagnosis: using supervised learning to classify patients
    • Linear separation line: separating the two classes (M and B)
