Study Notes

Machine Learning Overview

  • Machine learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI)
  • Machines learn from data, improving performance without explicit programming
  • ML algorithms identify patterns in data to make predictions or decisions
  • ML avoids preset instructions, relying on data analysis instead

Objectives of Machine Learning

  • Understanding what machine learning is (ML)
  • Identifying real-world applications of ML
  • Exploring how machine learning and AI are interconnected
  • Demonstrating how ML is being used in various industries

What is Machine Learning?

  • Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) where machines learn from data, improve performance over time without being explicitly programmed
  • Instead of following pre-set instructions, ML algorithms identify patterns and use them to make predictions or decisions

Applications of Machine Learning

  • ML Simulators: Tools for experimenting with ML models by inputting data and observing predictions. Examples include Google's Teachable Machine and IBM's Watson Studio
  • Real-world Examples:
    • Predictive text suggestions on smartphones
    • Personalized product recommendations on e-commerce platforms (e.g., Amazon)
    • Medical diagnostics systems analyzing patient data

Types of Machine Learning

  • Supervised Learning: Uses labeled data to predict outputs for given inputs (e.g., spam detection, price prediction)
  • Unsupervised Learning: Finds patterns or groups in data without labeled inputs (e.g., customer segmentation, clustering)
  • Reinforcement Learning: Learns optimal actions through rewards (e.g., self-driving cars, gaming AI)

Machine Learning and AI Connection

  • Machine learning is a specific type of AI, focusing on using data to enable machines to learn and improve
  • AI encompasses a broader range of techniques for making computers intelligent, with machine learning as one key component.

ML in Healthcare

  • ML is transforming healthcare by revolutionizing diagnostics and treatments
  • Potential applications include diagnosing diseases, creating personalized medicine strategies
  • Healthcare companies and researchers are using ML for various applications, improving disease detection, patient outcomes, and efficiency in care delivery.
