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.
