    This document defines machine learning and discusses common machine learning tasks. It begins by defining machine learning as the process of building machines that learn from data to get better at tasks given a performance measure. It notes machine learning is useful for complex problems that lack algorithmic solutions or require adapting to changing environments. The document discusses supervised and unsupervised learning tasks like classification, regression, clustering and dimensionality reduction. It asks questions about applying reinforcement learning, classification and clustering algorithms. It also defines key machine learning concepts like model parameters, hyperparameters, overfitting, test sets, validation sets and cross-validation.

    How would you define Machine Learning?
    Machine learning is the process of building machines that lear from data.
    Learning:
    - Get better at tasks
    - Given a performance measure.
    Machine learning is good for complex problems:
    - for which we don’t have algorithmic solutions.
    - Replace long lists of hand written rules
    - Adapt to fluctuating environments
    - Help humans understand the world

    What is a labeled training set?


    It is a set that contains the desired solution.

    What are the two most common supervised tasks?


    - Regression
    - Classification 


    Can you name two common unsupervised tasks?


    - Clustering
    - Visualisation
    - Dimensionality reduction
    - Association rule learning


    What type of Machine Learning algorithm would


    you use to allow a robot to walk in various
    unknown terrains?
    Reinforcement learning.

    What type of algorithm would you use to segment


    your customers into multiple groups?
    2 cases:
    Know how to segment customers: classification
    Don’t know how to segment customers: clustering


    Chadi Abi Fadel


    Would you frame the problem of spam detection
    as a supervised learning problem or an
    unsupervised learning problem?
    Supervised, it is fed the emails and their labels


    What is the difference between a model


    parameter and a learning algorithm’s
    hyperparameter?
    Parameter: to determine new predictions
    Hyperparameter: parameter of the learning model itself not the algorithm

    What do model-based learning algorithms search


    for? What is the most common strategy they use
    to succeed? How do they make predictions?
    Optimal values for parameter so that it generalises well.
    Ex: minimise the cost function


    If your model performs great on the training data


    but generalizes poorly to new instances, what is 

    happening? Can you name three possible
    solutions?
    Overfitting
    Solutions:
    - More data
    - Simplifying the model
    - Reduce noise in training data


    What is a test set and why would you want to use


    it?
    To estimate how the model will generalise.

    What is the purpose of a validation set?


    Compare models 


    What can go wrong if you tune hyperparameters


    using the test set?
    Overfitting the test set


    Chadi Abi Fadel


    What is cross-validation and why would you prefer
    it to a validation set?
    Compare without validation set.
    Saves training data

    True/False. Explain your reasoning in 1 sentence.


    a. A classifier that attains 100% accuracy on the training set
    and 70% accuracy on test set is better than a classifier that
    attains 70% accuracy on the training set and 75% accuracy on
    test set.
    False, Overfitting

    Provide short answers.


    What is a loss function? Give an example.
    A loss function measures the discrepancy between the predicted values and the real ones

    What is “generalization”?
    Generalisation is the ability to perform well on data not used in training
    What is overfitting?
    Learning the training set very well and not performing on new data
