Study Notes
Natural Language Processing
- Machine learning enhances language translation, sentiment analysis, chatbots, and virtual assistants, facilitating intuitive human-computer interactions.
Types of Machine Learning
- Supervised Learning: Involves training on labeled data; useful for classification and regression tasks. Example: Handwriting recognition classifies handwritten digits.
- Unsupervised Learning: Deals with unlabeled data, identifying patterns or clusters without explicit guidance. Example: Customer segmentation groups similar purchasing behaviors.
- Semi-Supervised Learning: Combines labeled and unlabeled data for predictions. Example: Sentiment analysis uses a small set of labeled reviews for classifier training.
- Reinforcement Learning: An agent learns from interactions with an environment, receiving feedback through rewards or penalties. Example: AI in games learns optimal strategies over time.
Machine Learning Modeling Flow
- Data Collection: Gathering relevant data from various sources is essential for model success.
- Data Preprocessing: Cleaning and transforming data to ensure its suitability for analysis.
- Feature Engineering: Selecting and extracting relevant features significantly influences model performance.
- Model Selection: Choosing the appropriate algorithm based on data characteristics and problem requirements.
- Model Training: The algorithm learns patterns and relationships from labeled data.
- Model Evaluation: Assessing the model's ability to generalize on unseen data.
- Model Tuning: Adjusting hyperparameters to improve accuracy and generalization.
Challenges of Machine Learning
- Data Quality: Poor or biased data leads to unreliable models; high-quality data is crucial.
- Overfitting: Occurs when models perform well on training data but poorly on new data; strategies are needed to prevent this.
- Interpretability: Complex models may be hard to interpret; important for applications requiring transparency.
Examples of Classification Problems
- Applications: Speech recognition, face detection, spam email classification, stock market prediction, breast cancer detection, employee attrition prediction.
Classification Algorithms
- Classifiers utilize training data to understand relationships between independent and dependent variables; used to predict outcomes like weather conditions based on past data.
- Binary classifiers handle two classes, while multi-class classifiers manage multiple classes.
K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) Algorithm
- A simple supervised learning algorithm that classifies new data based on similarity to stored cases.
- KNN is non-parametric and does not assume underlying data distribution; operates by comparing features of new data against known categories.
Support Vector Machines (SVM)
- Support Vectors: Closest data points to the hyperplane that influence its position.
- SVM finds the optimal hyperplane to separate data classes by maximizing the margin between them.
- For non-linear data, an additional dimension may be used to achieve separation.
Unsupervised Learning Definition and Characteristics
- Definition: ML enables computers to perform tasks using patterns derived from data without explicit instructions.
- Key Characteristics:
- Data-driven approach reliant on quality data.
- Utilizes various algorithms for model building and predictions.
- Emphasizes training and testing for model evaluation.
Applications of Pattern Discovery
- Identifying trends and correlations allows decision-makers to derive insights in fields like banking, healthcare, and marketing.
- Recognizing patterns provides predictive capabilities regarding future events.
- Understanding trends helps forecast outcomes based on temporal data analysis.
K-Means Clustering Algorithm
- A popular clustering method that partitions datasets into K distinct, non-overlapping clusters.
- Process Overview:
- Initialize K centroids.
- Assign data points to the nearest centroid.
- Update centroids based on assigned points' means.
- Repeat until centroid positions stabilize, achieving convergence.
