What is Machine Learning?
Machine Learning is a subdomain of Computer science that focusses
on algorithms which helps a computer learn from data without explicit
programming.
AI vs ML vs DS
Artificial Intelligence is an area of computer science, where the goal is
to enable computers and machines to perform human-like tasks and
simulate human behavior.
Machine Learning is a subsets of AI that tries to solve a specific problem
and make predictions using data.
Data Science is a field that attempts to find patterns and draw insight
from data(might use ML!)
All fields overlap! All may use ML!!
Types of Machine Learning
1. Supervised learning-uses labeled inputs (meaning the inputs has
a corresponding output label) to train models and learn outputs.
Features: 1. Qualitative -categorial data. One-hot encoding
Nominal data, Ordinal data
2.Quantative data-numerical valued data (could be discrete or
continuous).
Tasks:
classification-predict discrete classes. (Binary &Multi
classification)
Regression-predict continuous values.
Supervised learning Dataset:
Training dataset.
Validation dataset.
Testing dataset.
2. Unsupervised learning-uses unlabeled data to learn about pattern
in data. (clustered or group into category)
3. Reinforcement learning-agent learning in interactive environment
based on rewards and penalties.
