Study Notes
Machine Learning Landscape
- Machine learning is the science and art of programming computers to learn from data.
- It gives computers the ability to learn without explicit programming.
- A program is said to learn from experience with respect to a task and a performance measure, if its performance on the task improves with experience.
Objectives
- What is Machine Learning?
- Why use Machine Learning?
- Types of Machine Learning Systems
Why Use Machine Learning?
-
Traditional approach: Study the problem, write rules, analyze errors, launch.
-
Machine Learning approach: Study the problem, train ML algorithm, analyze errors, launch, evaluate solution.
-
Automatic adaptation to change: Update data, train ML algorithm, evaluate solution.
-
Machine Learning helps humans learn. Study problem, train ML algorithm with lots of data, iterate if needed, understand the problem better, inspect solution.
-
Effective for problems with complex rules or difficult solutions.
-
Suitable for adapting and learning from evolving data.
-
Allows insights into complex problems and large data sets.
Types of Machine Learning Systems
- Supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, reinforcement learning.
- Whether or not they are trained with human supervision is a way to categorize them.
- The ability to learn incrementally (online vs. batch) is another.
- How they compare data or find patterns (instance-based vs. model-based) is another classification.
Supervised Learning
-
Training data includes the desired output.
-
Classification (e.g., spam filter)
-
Regression (e.g., predicting car price)
-
This involves learning a function that maps inputs to outputs.
-
Algorithms include: K-Nearest Neighbors, Linear Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Decision Trees, Random Forests, Neural Networks.
Unsupervised Learning
- Training data is unlabeled.
- Goal is to find patterns in data.
- Techniques include clustering (e.g., K-Means, DBSCAN, Hierarchical Cluster Analysis).
- Used for anomaly detection (e.g., one-class SVM, isolation forest).
Semi-supervised Learning
- Some data is labeled, some is unlabeled.
- An example of semi-supervised learning is partial labeling of data.
Reinforcement Learning
- Learning by interacting with an environment and getting rewards or penalties.
- Agent in the context observes environment, selects actions, and gets feedback in the form of rewards or penalties until it finds the best strategy.
Batch and Online Learning
- Batch learning: Training using all available data offline.
- Online learning: Training incrementally with each new instance.
Instance-Based vs Model-Based Learning
- Instance-based learning: The system memorizes examples and generalizes by comparing new cases to stored instances.
- Model-based learning: The system builds a model of the training data and generalizes from that model
Main Challenges of Machine Learning
- Insufficient quantity of training data.
- Non-representative training data.
- Poor quality data.
- Irrelevant features.
- Overfitting the training data.
- Underfitting the training data.
- Testing and validating.
