Study Notes
Artificial Intelligence: Types of Learning Models
- Machine Learning: focuses on using appropriate features to build models that accomplish specific tasks.
-
Types of Learning Models: classified into three main categories:
- Logical Models: use logical expressions to construct decision rules based on logical conditions.
- Geometric Models: use geometry of the instance space to classify data points.
- Probabilistic Models: use probability theory to classify data points.
Probabilistic Models
- Definition: view features and target variables as random variables.
- Characteristics: model and manipulate the level of uncertainty associated with these variables.
- Approach: differs from k-nearest neighbors and logical models.
Two Types of Probabilistic Models
- Predictive Models: focus on conditional probability distribution P(Y|X) to predict the target variable Y.
- Generative Models: estimate the joint probability distribution P(Y, X) to derive any conditional or marginal distribution involving Y and X.
Unveiling the Joint Distribution
- Joint Probability Distribution: captures the relationship between two variables.
- Generative Models: excel at predicting new data points by leveraging the joint distribution.
Naïve Bayes
- Definition: a popular probabilistic classifier.
- Algorithm: leverages Bayes' rule to determine the likelihood of a specific class.
Grouping and Grading
- Grouping Models: break the instance space into groups or segments and apply a simple method (e.g., decision tree, KNN).
- Grading Models: form a global model over the instance space (e.g., linear classifiers, neural networks).
Designing a Learning System
- Three Elements: T (Task), P (Performance Measure), and E (Training Experience).
- Objective: find an unknown target function that represents the exact knowledge to be learned from the training experience.
Type of Training Experience
- Direct Experience: each board state and the correct move are provided.
- Indirect Experience: sequences of moves and final results are given.
- Credit Assignment Problem: determining how to assign credit or blame to individual moves.
Choosing the Target Function
- Direct Experience: ChooseMove function, which chooses the best move.
- Indirect Experience: Value function, which estimates the quality of the board state.
Choosing a Representation for the Target Function
- Options: large tables, rule sets, polynomial functions, neural networks.
- Characteristics: should be expressive yet manageable with available training data.
Choosing an Approximation Algorithm for the Target Function
- Need for Approximation: the true objective function may be complex or difficult to calculate directly.
- Error Reduction: reduces the difference between predicted values and actual values over time.
- Types of Approximation Algorithms: LMS (Least Mean Square), Time Difference (TD) Learning, and others.
Final Design for the Checkers Learning System
- Four Modules: Performance System, Critic, Generalizer, and Experiment Generator.
- Modules' Roles: performance system plays games, critic generates training examples, generalizer learns from examples, and experiment generator creates new problems.
Supervised Learning
- Definition: learning from examples with labeled data.
- Goal: create a function that maps new inputs to corresponding outputs.
- Types of Problems: classification and regression.
Unsupervised Learning
- Definition: learning from unlabeled data.
- Goals: discover hidden structures and patterns, estimate the probability distribution of the data.
- Techniques: density estimation, clustering, and others.
Reinforcement Learning
-
Definition: trial and error learning with rewards.
-
Agent's Goal: maximize the cumulative reward by taking actions in an environment.
-
Reward System: acts as a critic, providing feedback on the effectiveness of the agent's actions.### Reinforcement Learning
-
The goal is to learn a policy that maximizes long-term reward
-
The agent interacts with the environment, takes actions, and receives rewards based on those actions
-
The learning process involves exploring different actions and favoring those that lead to higher rewards
-
Example: Training a dog, where the dog receives positive reinforcement (treats) for desired behaviors and no reward for undesired ones
Real-World Applications of Reinforcement Learning
- Controlling robot movements
- Scheduling tasks for optimal efficiency
- Recommendation systems where the "reward" could be user satisfaction
Comparison with Supervised Learning
- Reinforcement learning operates through trial and error, guided by the reward system
- Supervised learning involves learning from labeled examples provided by an expert
Perspectives in Machine Learning
- Machine learning can be viewed as a search problem through a vast space of possibilities
- The core idea is that machine learning algorithms navigate a vast space of potential solutions (hypotheses) to find the one that best fits the training data and any existing knowledge
Hypothesis Space
- The space encompasses all possible models or functions the learner can create
- Example: Training an AI to play checkers, where the hypothesis space includes all possible evaluation functions
Learning Algorithms as Search Tools
- The LMS algorithm (or other learning algorithms) act as search tools within the hypothesis space
- They iteratively refine the model based on the difference between the model's predictions and the actual training data
Importance of Hypothesis Representation
- The choice of how the model is represented significantly impacts the search process
- Different representations are suitable for learning different types of functions
Search Strategies and Underlying Structure
- Each learning algorithm leverages the specific structure of the chosen hypothesis space to guide its search
Issues in Machine Learning
- Effective learning algorithms: What kind of algorithms are best suited to learn general patterns from specific training examples?
- Convergence and training data: How much training data is required for an algorithm to reliably converge on the desired function?
- Generalizability and prior knowledge: Ensuring the learned model performs well on unseen data and incorporating existing knowledge into the learning process
- Active learning and strategy: Can the learning algorithm actively choose the most informative training examples to improve its learning efficiency?
- Function approximation and representation: Choosing the best type of functions for the learning model and automating function selection within the learning algorithm
- Representation learning: Can the learning algorithm automatically adjust its internal representation to improve its ability to learn the target function?### Introduction to Python
- Python is a modern, high-level language that is easy to learn and use.
- It has a simple syntax, making it a great language for beginners.
- Python supports Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and has a dynamic and incremental build process.
Reserved Words in Python
- Reserved words in Python are predefined words that cannot be used as variable names.
- These words are used to perform specific functions in Python.
How to Run Python
- To run Python, you need to install it from the official website: https://www.python.org/.
- You can use a text editor to write Python code and save it with a .py extension.
- To run the code, open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where the file is saved, and type
python filename.py.
Interactive Mode in Python
- Python has an interactive mode that allows you to write and execute code one line at a time.
- To enter interactive mode, type
pythonin the terminal or command prompt. - This mode is useful for testing and debugging code.
Data Types in Python
- Python has several built-in data types, including:
- Integers (int): whole numbers, e.g., 123, 456.
- Floating-point numbers (float): decimal numbers, e.g., 3.14, -0.5.
- Complex numbers (complex): numbers with real and imaginary parts, e.g., 3+4j, -2-5j.
- Strings (str): sequences of characters, e.g., "hello", 'hello'.
Variables in Python
- Variables are used to store values in Python.
- A variable is a name given to a value, and it can be used to perform operations on that value.
- Variables are case-sensitive, and they can be reassigned to a new value.
Input and Output in Python
- Input is the process of getting data from the user, and output is the process of displaying data to the user.
- The
print()function is used to display output to the user. - The
input()function is used to get input from the user.
Printing Output in Python
- The
print()function is used to display output to the user. - Output can be a string, a number, or a combination of both.
- The
print()function can be used to display multiple values separated by commas.
Getting Input in Python
- The
input()function is used to get input from the user. - Input is always a string, and it needs to be converted to a different data type if necessary.
- The
input()function can be used to get multiple values separated by commas.
Assigning Values to Variables
- The assignment operator (=) is used to assign a value to a variable.
- The value on the right-hand side of the operator is assigned to the variable on the left-hand side.
- Variables can be reassigned to a new value.
