Study Notes
Types of Machine Learning
- Supervised Learning: The model is trained on labeled data, and the goal is to make predictions on new, unseen data.
- Unsupervised Learning: The model is trained on unlabeled data, and the goal is to identify patterns or structure in the data.
- Reinforcement Learning: The model learns by interacting with an environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties.
Machine Learning Algorithms
- Linear Regression: A linear model that predicts a continuous output variable.
- Decision Trees: A tree-based model that splits data into subsets based on features.
- Random Forest: An ensemble method that combines multiple decision trees.
- Neural Networks: A model inspired by the structure and function of the human brain.
- K-Means Clustering: An unsupervised algorithm that groups similar data points into clusters.
Key Concepts
- Overfitting: When a model is too complex and performs well on training data but poorly on new data.
- Underfitting: When a model is too simple and fails to capture important patterns in the data.
- Bias-Variance Tradeoff: The balance between model simplicity (bias) and model complexity (variance).
- Regularization: Techniques used to prevent overfitting, such as L1 and L2 regularization.
Model Evaluation Metrics
- Accuracy: The proportion of correctly classified instances.
- Precision: The proportion of true positives among all positive predictions.
- Recall: The proportion of true positives among all actual positive instances.
- F1 Score: The harmonic mean of precision and recall.
- Mean Squared Error (MSE): A measure of the average squared difference between predicted and actual values.
Real-World Applications
- Image Recognition: Image classification, object detection, and facial recognition.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Text classification, sentiment analysis, and language translation.
- Recommendation Systems: Personalized product recommendations based on user behavior and preferences.
