Study Notes

Machine Learning Overview

Machine learning (ML) is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers to learn from data without human interference.
ML allows computers to enhance performance and make predictions.

Types of Machine Learning

Supervised Learning:
- Uses labeled data to train machines to predict outputs.
- Has two main categories: classification (predicts categorical outputs) and regression (predicts numerical labels/continuous variables).
Unsupervised Learning:
- Uses unlabeled data to group datasets based on similarities and patterns.
- Classified into two types: association (finds relations between variables) and clustering (groups similar objects into clusters).
Semi-Supervised Learning:
- Combines characteristics of supervised and unsupervised learning.
- Uses a combination of labeled and unlabeled datasets to train algorithms.
Reinforcement Learning:
- An agent learns by interacting with its environment through actions and getting rewards (positive or negative).

Supervised Learning

Classification:
- Addresses classification problems where the output variable is categorical.
- Common algorithms: Decision Tree Algorithm, Logistic Regression, Random Forest Algorithm, Support Vector Machine Algorithm.
Regression:
- Handles regression problems where input and output variables have a linear relationship.
- Common algorithms: Decision Tree Algorithm, Lasso Regression, Multivariate Regression Algorithm, Simple Linear Regression Algorithm.
Applications: Fraud Detection, Image Segmentation, Medical Diagnosis, Spam Detection.

Unsupervised Learning

Association:
- Finds relations between variables in a large dataset.
- Goal: discover and map data dependent on the other to produce maximum profit.
- Common algorithms: Apriori algorithm.
Clustering:
- A method of grouping each set of similar objects into a cluster.
- Goal: discover inherent groups from the dataset.
- Common algorithms: k-means clustering.
Applications: Anomaly Detection, Network Analysis, Recommendation Systems, Singular-Value Decomposition.
