What is Machine Learning?

The study of methods for programming computers to learn from experience. It focuses on creating machines that can automatically improve their performance over time.

Training a Machine Learning Model

A process where a machine learning algorithm is trained using a set of labeled data. The algorithm learns to identify patterns and relationships between input data and corresponding outputs.

Supervised Learning

A type of machine learning where the algorithm is provided with labeled data, meaning each input example has a corresponding correct output. The goal is to learn a function that maps input to output accurately.

Unsupervised Learning

A type of machine learning where the algorithm is given unlabeled data and must discover patterns and structure on its own. The goal is to identify hidden relationships and insights within the data.

What does it mean for a learning algorithm to be "supervised"?

In supervised learning, a "teacher" provides labeled data, teaching the algorithm to associate specific inputs with their correct outputs. Think of it like learning to identify fruits by their color and shape.

How does unsupervised learning differ from supervised learning?

Unsupervised learning involves finding patterns and structures within unlabeled data without any prior knowledge of the correct outcomes. Think of it like clustering objects by their qualities without knowing their categories beforehand.

Study Notes

Machine Learning Overview

  • Machine learning (ML) is the study of methods for programming computers to learn.
  • It involves building machines that automatically learn from experience.
  • ML generally refers to changes that enable systems to accomplish AI tasks, including recognition, diagnosis, planning, robot control, and prediction.

Machine Learning Outlines

  • Topics to be covered: Machine learning, applications, steps in ML, advantages/disadvantages of ML, types (regression, supervised, unsupervised ML), and comparisons to deep learning.

What is Machine Learning?

  • Machine learning is the study of methods for programming computers to learn.
  • Building machines to learn from experience.
  • Machine learning involves systems changing; these changes allow tasks related to artificial intelligence like recognition, diagnosis, planning, and robotic control and prediction.

Machine Learning Process

  • Data is fed to a learning algorithm
  • The algorithm generates a trained model.
  • The model processes new data inputs to make predictions.
  • The answer is generated.

Data Example (Loan Application)

  • Example data includes applicant age, job status, home ownership, credit rating, and approval status (yes/no).

Traditional Programming vs. Machine Learning

  • Traditional programming: Data → Program → Computer → Output
  • Machine Learning: Data → Computer → Program → Output

Machine Learning Applications

  • Image recognition
  • Speech recognition
  • Recommender systems
  • Fraud detection
  • Self-driving cars
  • Medical diagnosis
  • Stock market trading

Steps in Machine Learning

  • Data Collection
  • Data Representation
  • Modeling (Machine Learning Modeling)
  • Validation
  • Apply learned model to new data (testing)

Advantages of Machine Learning

  • Solving vision problems with statistical inference.
  • Achieving common sense artificial intelligence.
  • Reducing constraints over time and achieving complete autonomy.

Disadvantages of Machine Learning

  • Application-specific algorithms.
  • Real-world problems may have too many variables and noisy sensors.
  • Computational complexity.

Types of Learning

  • Supervised Learning: Training data + desired outputs (labels). Example tasks: classification and regression.
  • Unsupervised Learning: Training data (without desired outputs). Example task: clustering.
    • Clustering: grouping similar objects.

What is Supervised Learning?

  • Supervised learning needs a labeled training dataset.

What is Unsupervised Learning?

  • Unsupervised learning does not require labels or ground truth values. The task is to identify patterns, like grouping similar objects.

Example Learning Task

  • The goal might be to build a classification model that predicts approval or not approval of a loan based on input data (features) like age, job status, home ownership, credit rating, etc.

Classification vs. Clustering in a Dataset Example

  • Example Dataset: Attributes include number of wings, broken wings, living or dead status, wing area and whether they can fly.
  • Determine if this is a classification or clustering problem.

Supervised vs. Unsupervised learning

  • Supervised learning: The data is labeled with prior defined classes.
  • Unsupervised learning: The data's classes are unknown, the task is to establish the existence of classes or clusters.

Supervised Learning Process: Two Steps

  • Learning (training): Using the training data to create a model
  • Testing: Using unseen test data to evaluate model accuracy. Accuracy is calculated as the ratio of correct classifications to the total number of test cases.

Machine Learning vs Deep Learning

  • Deep learning is a specialized type of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks to learn complex patterns/features.
  • In machine learning, features need to be extracted from the input data. In deep learning, these features are learned by the network itself, meaning it's an end-to-end process.

Linear Regression

  • Linear regression, a supervised machine learning method, predicts continuous output variables. This model learns from labelled datasets.
