Traditional Programming vs. ML

Traditional programming requires humans to define specific rules for every scenario. ML, on the other hand, learns patterns from data and creates its own rules, adapting to new information.

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.
