Study Notes

Introduction to Machine Learning

Machine learning enables machines to learn from experiences and past data, similar to human learning.
Arthur Samuel coined the term "machine learning" in 1959; it is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI).
Algorithms trained on datasets create self-learning models for predicting outcomes and classifying data without human intervention.
Machine learning applications include recommendation engines, speech recognition, fraud detection, and self-driving vehicle features.

Types of Machine Learning

Machine learning is categorized into three main types:
- Supervised Learning
- Unsupervised Learning
- Reinforcement Learning

Supervised Machine Learning

Analogous to a teacher guiding students, it uses labeled data for training.
Key performance metrics include:
- True Positive (TP): Correctly predicted positives.
- False Positive (FP): Incorrectly predicted positives (Type 1 Error).
- False Negative (FN): Incorrectly predicted negatives (Type 2 Error).
- True Negative (TN): Correctly predicted negatives.
Confusion Matrix: A table to visualize performance across classes for classification tasks.

Accuracy Metrics

Accuracy = (TP + TN) / Total Predictions.
High accuracy does not suffice for imbalanced datasets; alternative metrics may be needed.

Probability in Machine Learning

Probability denotes the likelihood of events; denoted as P(X).
Joint Probability: P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B) for independent events.
Joint probability for dependent events: P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B|A).

Dimensionality Reduction Techniques

Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA):
- Transforms multiple dimensions into a lower-dimensional space to maximize class separability.
- Prioritizes maximizing the distance between class means and minimizing variance within classes.
- Useful for face detection and medical classification.
Principal Component Analysis (PCA):
- Maps higher-dimensional data to a lower-dimensional space while preserving variance.
- Aims to retain maximum information from the original dataset with minimal correlation among new components.

Applications of LDA

Widely used in face recognition to reduce the number of features before classification.
Assists in medical diagnosis classification based on patient data to inform treatment plans.

Summary of Analysis Steps for LDA

Step 1: Calculate means for each class.
Step 2: Compute covariance matrices for classes.
Step 3: Determine within-class scatter matrix.
Step 4: Calculate between-class scatter matrix.

Remember: LDA is effective for supervised classification tasks, particularly when classes are well-separated but may fail with overlapping distributions.
