    Study Notes

    Supervised Learning

    • Supervised learning algorithms use labeled data, where each data point has a known output.
    • The algorithm learns the relationship between input features and the target variable to predict outputs for unseen data.
    • Common tasks are classification and regression.
    • Classification predicts categorical outputs (e.g., spam/not spam, cat/dog) with algorithms like logistic regression, SVMs, and decision trees.
    • Regression predicts continuous outputs (e.g., house price, stock price) with algorithms such as linear regression, polynomial regression, and SVR.
    • Key characteristics: Requires labeled data, maps inputs to outputs, learns patterns from data.

    Unsupervised Learning

    • Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data, without target variables.
    • The algorithm aims to find hidden patterns and relationships.
    • Common tasks include clustering and dimensionality reduction.
    • Clustering groups similar data points (e.g., customer segmentation, anomaly detection) using algorithms like k-means, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN.
    • Dimensionality reduction reduces variables while preserving information (e.g., PCA, t-SNE).
    • Key characteristics: Learns from unlabeled data, finds structure, no pre-defined categories are needed.

    Reinforcement Learning

    • Reinforcement learning algorithms learn through trial and error in an environment.
    • The algorithm learns a policy to maximize a reward signal representing action desirability.
    • Feedback from the environment is in the form of rewards or penalties for actions.
    • The goal is to learn a strategy maximizing cumulative reward.
    • Applications: game playing (AlphaGo), robotics, autonomous driving.
    • Key characteristics: Learns through interaction, aims to maximize cumulative reward, relies on environmental feedback.

    Semi-Supervised Learning

    • Semi-supervised learning combines labeled and unlabeled data for model training.
    • It leverages the benefits of both supervised and unsupervised learning.
    • Useful when labeled data is limited or expensive to obtain.
    • Algorithms use unlabeled data to enhance performance on the labeled data.
    • Techniques include self-training, co-training, and generative models.
    • Key characteristics: Uses both labeled and unlabeled data, improves performance with limited labeled data, exploits relationships in both types of data.

    Deep Learning

    • Deep learning uses multiple-layered artificial neural networks.
    • These models learn hierarchical representations to extract complex features from raw data.
    • Common applications: image recognition, natural language processing, speech recognition.
    • Key characteristics: Uses multiple layers, learns hierarchical representations, extracts complex features, excels at high-dimensional tasks like image classification.
