    Study Notes

    Machine Learning 1 - Week 1 Lecture

    • This is a machine learning course, week 1.
    • The agenda covers course introduction and supervised machine learning.
    • A textbook, "An Introduction to Statistical Learning" by Gareth James, Daniela Witten, Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani, and Jonathan Taylor (with applications in Python), is recommended.
    • The website https://www.statlearning.com/ is a resource.
    • The syllabus for the course lists topics and readings for each week.
    • Labs will use DataCamp resources for hands-on learning.
    • Specifically, week 1 will cover an introduction to supervised machine learning.

    Course Introduction and Syllabus Details

    • Week 1-6 have supervised machine learning topics.
    • Course topics include chapters 1, 2, 4, and 9 from the textbook ("Introduction", "Statistical Learning," "Classification," and "Support Vector Machines respectively").
    • Labs 1, 2, and 3 are on DataCamp.
    • There is a week 1 quiz.
    • Test 1 in week 6.

    Supervised Machine Learning

    • Supervised learning uses labeled data.
    • The goal is to predict future outcomes using past data with direct feedback.
    • Two main types in supervised learning are regression and classification.
    • Regression tasks predict continuous values, like prices.
    • Classification tasks predict discrete values, such as categories (e.g., yes/no, types of objects).
    • Examples of classification problems include identifying customers who might leave, detecting faulty units based on characteristics, recognizing conditions (e.g., Pneumonia) from scans.
    • Examples of regression problems include predicting stock prices based on past data,.

    Learning from Data

    • Classical programming uses rules and data to produce answers.
    • Machine learning uses data and answers to learn rules.
    • The learning process involves iterative adjustments.

    Model Evaluation

    • Assessing regression models uses mean squared error (MSE).
    • Assessing classification models uses accuracy and the confusion matrix (which includes metrics like precision, recall, F1 score, sensitivity, and specificity).
    • Evaluation should use test data independent from training.

    Model Overfitting and Bias-Variance Tradeoff

    • Overfitting leads to models performing well on training data but poorly on new data.
    • Simpler models have high bias (oversimplifying) but may reduce variance (reduced variance making predictions less sensitive to small variations).
    • Complex models have low bias but high variance.

    Structure of Training and Prediction

    • Data is split into training and testing sets.
    • A model is created.
    • The model is trained using training data.
    • Predictions are made on the test data set.
    • Accuracy is calculated based on how the model performs on new, unseen examples.
