Study Notes
Machine Learning Process
- The learning step involves model experimentation, training, building, and testing
- The application step (Deployment) involves model deployment and prediction, making the model's predictions available to users, developers, or systems
Key Terms
- Instance: a row in a data table, an observation in statistics, and a data point
- Feature: a column or field in a data table, a variable in statistics, and an independent variable (IV) in regression methods
- Target variable: a predictant or dependent variable (DV) in statistics
Machine Learning Types
Supervised Learning
- Requires labeled input data to produce an output model that predicts labels for new incoming data points
- Use cases: survival analysis, fraud detection
- Examples: logistic regression
Unsupervised Learning
- Accepts unlabeled data and groups observations into categories based on underlying similarities in input features
- Examples: principal component analysis, k-means clustering, singular value decomposition
- Use cases: recommendation engines, facial recognition systems, customer segmentation
Reinforcement Learning
- A behavior-based learning model that learns to maximize rewards by adapting decisions
- Similar to how humans and animals learn
- An up-and-coming concept in data science
Machine Learning Algorithms
Examples Based on Functionality
- Regression algorithm: models relationships between features in a dataset
- Association rule learning algorithm: discovers associations between features in a dataset
- Instance-based algorithm: classifies new observations based on similarity
- Naïve Bayes method: predicts the likelihood of an event occurring based on evidence in the data
- Clustering algorithm: uncovers subgroups within an unlabeled dataset
- Regularizing algorithm: prevents model overfitting or solves ill-posed problems
- Neural network: mimics how the brain solves problems, often used in image recognition and computer vision applications
Introduction to Neural Networks
- A series of algorithms designed to recognize patterns in data, mimicking the human brain
- Consists of layers: input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer
- Each layer contains units or neurons that process and transmit information
- Neurons transform input data through a set of weights and biases
- The simplest type of neural network is the Perceptron
