Study Notes

Machine Learning

Definition

  • Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that involves training algorithms to enable them to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed.

Types of Machine Learning

  • Supervised Learning: The algorithm is trained on labeled data, where the correct output is already known, to learn the mapping between input and output.
  • Unsupervised Learning: The algorithm is trained on unlabeled data, and it must find patterns or relationships in the data on its own.
  • Reinforcement Learning: The algorithm learns by interacting with an environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties.

Machine Learning Algorithms

  • Linear Regression: A linear model that predicts a continuous output variable based on one or more input features.
  • Decision Trees: A tree-based model that splits data into subsets based on feature values and makes predictions.
  • Random Forests: An ensemble learning method that combines multiple decision trees to improve prediction accuracy.
  • Neural Networks: A model inspired by the structure and function of the human brain, composed of layers of interconnected nodes (neurons).

Applications of Machine Learning

  • Image Recognition: Machine learning algorithms can be trained to recognize objects, people, and patterns in images.
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP): Machine learning algorithms can be used for text analysis, sentiment analysis, and language translation.
  • Predictive Maintenance: Machine learning algorithms can be used to predict equipment failures and schedule maintenance.
  • Recommendation Systems: Machine learning algorithms can be used to recommend products or services based on user behavior and preferences.

Challenges and Limitations of Machine Learning

  • Overfitting: When a model is too complex and performs well on training data but poorly on new, unseen data.
  • Underfitting: When a model is too simple and fails to capture the underlying patterns in the data.
  • Bias and Variance: The trade-off between the error introduced by simplifying a model (bias) and the error introduced by fitting the noise in the data (variance).
  • Explainability and Interpretability: The difficulty of understanding why a machine learning model is making a particular prediction or decision.
