Study Notes
Machine Learning Lecture Summaries
- Machine Learning (ML) is a field enabling computers to learn without explicit programming.
- ML applications include email spam filters, chatbots, fraud detection, recommendation systems, and advertisement placement.
- Increased data sets and computing power drive ML popularity.
- ML can process unstructured data like images, videos, text, and audio.
- Statistical models focus on inferring relationships and their reasons, based on theories like laws of large numbers and central limit theorems.
- ML models focus on predictions, learning input-output relationships, with less emphasis on theory and more on data generalization.
- ML parameters are often not interpretable, but they can reveal correlations.
Machine Learning Methods
- Regression models (linear and logistic regression, decision trees, random forests) are common ML types predicting continuous values.
- Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are powerful, adaptable models suitable for complex patterns, useful in deep learning scenarios (e.g., text-to-image, text-to-text).
- ANNs need extensive training and tuning, which can be challenging
Model Development and Evaluation
- Model development is an iterative process involving data study, identification of relationships, model training, and performance evaluation.
- Evaluating models uses metrics like R-squared, MAE, and RMSE.
- Data division into training and testing sets for model validation is critical.
Overfitting and Underfitting
- Overfitting describes a model performing well on training data but poorly on new data.
- Underfitting happens when a model fails to capture essential patterns in the data, resulting in poor performance.
- Addressing these issues requires careful model selection, data pre-processing, handling appropriate amounts of data, and regularization techniques.
Ensemble Methods
- Ensemble methods, like Random Forests and Gradient Boosted Trees, combine multiple models to improve performance.
- Random Forests use bagging and random feature selection for more diverse tree models.
- Boosting sequentially models errors in previous models.
Embeddings and Causality
- Embeddings represent discrete data in continuous vector spaces, useful for processing unstructured data.
- Embeddings can be supervised (output of neural networks) or unsupervised (bottleneck of autoencoders).
- Causality involves understanding relationships where a change in one variable leads to a change in another.
- ML often focuses on correlations, which may not imply causality.
Explainable AI (XAI)
- XAI aims to make ML models more understandable by providing explanations for their predictions.
- Explainable models prioritize understandability and trustworthiness.
- Model evaluation metrics include accuracy, fidelity, consistency, comprehensibility, and stability.
- Techniques for XAI include PDPs, ICE, LIME, and SHAP.
Other Relevant Topics
- Geospatial data, including vector and raster data, are now commonly used in ML models.
- Data preparation and analysis are important steps before training a model, especially for large datasets and for geographic data.
- Key performance metrics are needed to evaluate the model's efficacy and efficiency for specific applications.
