Machine Learning Overview Objectives

ϝ Machine Learning Overview:

• Machine learning (ML) is a type of artificial intelligence that enables a computer program to learn from experience.
• ML algorithms improve their performance on a specific task as they are exposed to new data.
• ML algorithms are often used to solve complex problems or those involving large amounts of data with undefined distribution functions.
• ML algorithms can be combined with deep learning methods to study and observe AI.
• ML algorithms can be divided into historical data methods, which summarize new problems based on past experience, and methods that create new models for future predictions.
• ML algorithms can be contrasted with rule-based methods, where explicit programming is used to solve problems with known rules, and machines learn the rules from the data.
• ML algorithms can be classified based on the types of tasks they perform: classification, regression, and clustering.
• Classification involves specifying a category for the input data.
• Regression involves predicting a continuous value for the input data.
• Clustering involves grouping data into classes based on their internal similarities.
• ML algorithms approach the target equation (function f: X → Y) by using a hypothesis function g that approximates the ideal function f.
• Common ML tasks include image classification, speech recognition, sales trend forecasting, and user profiling.
• ML algorithms are often used when rules are complex or difficult to describe, or when rules change over time.
• ML algorithms are especially effective when dealing with large amounts of data and when the data distribution changes frequently.
• ML algorithms can be contrasted with rule-based methods, which have explicit programming, and ML algorithms learn the rules from the data.
• There are two main types of machine learning: supervised learning and unsupervised learning.
• ML algorithms are used for prediction tasks, such as classification and regression, which may output discrete or continuous values.
• ML algorithms are used for clustering tasks, where large amounts of unlabeled data are grouped based on internal similarities.
• ML algorithms are trained on historical data, and they adapt to new data by learning from it, while rule-based methods rely on explicit programming to solve problems.
