Study Notes
Machine Learning Overview
- Machine learning (ML) studies algorithms and systems that enhance knowledge or performance through experience.
- Represents a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), allowing systems to learn and improve autonomously without explicit programming.
- Involves teaching algorithms to progressively enhance performance on specific tasks.
Applications of Machine Learning
- Rating systems for products and services online contribute data used by recommender systems to generate personalized recommendations.
- Automatic enforcement systems use road sensors to detect unlawful vehicles and relay information to traffic centers and police stations.
Types of Machine Learning
- Supervised Learning: Employs pre-labeled data to train models for predicting outcomes, exemplified by classifying LEGO blocks by bag color.
- Unsupervised Learning: Utilizes non-labeled data to cluster information, predicting outcomes without predefined classes.
Characteristics of Machine Learning Tasks
- Tasks vary by prediction type:
- Binary Classification
- Multiclass Classification
- Regression
- Clustering
- Ranking
- Anomaly Detection
- Forecasting
Binary Classification
- A supervised learning task predicting which of two classes a data instance belongs to, based on labeled examples (0 or 1).
- The output is a classifier used for predicting classes of new, unlabeled instances.
Multiclass Classification
- Similar to binary classification, but predicts among multiple classes using labeled examples.
- Examples include dog breed identification and sentiment analysis in movie reviews.
Regression
- Predicts label values based on related feature sets and models the dependency between features and labels.
- Outputs a function for predicting label values from new input features.
- Use cases include predicting house prices and forecasting stock prices based on historical data.
Clustering
- An unsupervised learning task grouping data instances into clusters with similar characteristics.
Anomaly Detection
- Identifies correlations among variables to uncover differences in outcomes.
- Applications include detecting network intrusions and identifying abnormal patient clusters.
Ranking
- Develops a ranker from labeled examples to score and rank new instance groups lacking known scores.
Recommendation Tasks
- Focus on generating personalized product or service recommendations based on user data and preferences.
