Study Notes
Machine Learning
- Machine learning is a field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without explicit programming.
- Machine learning is the process by which a computer can work more accurately as it collects and learns from the data it is given.
- It is a subfield of artificial intelligence and is closely related to applied mathematics and statistics.
Applications
- Finding place names or persons in text (Classification)
- Identifying people based on pictures or voice recordings (Classification)
- Proactively identifying car parts that are likely to fail (Regression)
- Identifying tumors and diseases (Classification)
- Predicting the number of eruptions of a volcano in a period (Regression)
- Bing Videos (Regression)
Modeling Process
- Feature engineering and model selection
- Training the model
- Model validation and selection
- Applying the trained model to unseen data
Supervised Learning
- Supervised learning uses labelled training data to train a model.
- The model learns to predict the output variable based on the input variables.
- The training data is split into training and test datasets.
- The model is evaluated by providing the test dataset and measuring its accuracy.
- The model is trained using algorithms such as Support Vector Machines and Decision Trees.
Unsupervised Learning
- Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data to train a model.
- The model learns to discover patterns and information in the data without any prior guidance.
- One example of unsupervised learning is clustering.
- Clustering is the task of dividing data points into groups based on similarity and dissimilarity.
- Applications of clustering include marketing, biology, libraries, insurance, city planning, earthquake studies, image processing, and genetics.
Semi-Supervised Learning
- Semi-supervised learning uses a small amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data to train a model.
- The goal of semi-supervised learning is to learn a function that can accurately predict the output variable based on the input variables.
- This approach is particularly useful when there is a large amount of unlabeled data available, but it is expensive or difficult to label all of it.
Regression Algorithms
- Regression algorithms are used when there is a relationship between the input variable and the output variable.
- They are used for the prediction of continuous variables.
- Examples include Linear Regression, Regression Trees, Non-Linear Regression, Bayesian Linear Regression, and Polynomial Regression.
Classification Algorithms
- Classification algorithms are used when the output variable is categorical.
- They are used for predicting the class of a data point.
- Examples include Random Forest, Decision Trees, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Machines.
Types of Variables
- Discrete Variables represent counts (e.g., the number of objects in a collection).
- Continuous Variables represent measurable amounts (e.g., water volume or weight).
