Machine Learning
Machine Learning
that can learn from data and improve their performance on specific tasks without being explicitly
programmed. In essence, it's about enabling computers to learn from data, identify patterns, and
make predictions or decisions with minimal human intervention.
Core Concepts:
ML algorithms analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and relationships, allowing them to
make predictions or decisions based on this learned knowledge.
No Explicit Programming:
Unlike traditional programming where instructions are explicitly written for every task, ML systems
learn from data to perform tasks, making them more adaptable and efficient.
As ML systems are exposed to more data, they refine their internal models and improve their
accuracy, leading to better performance over time.
Subset of AI:
Machine learning is a field within artificial intelligence, focusing on developing intelligent systems
that can learn and adapt.
Supervised Learning:
Algorithms learn from labeled data, where both input and desired output are provided, to predict or
classify new, unseen data.
Unsupervised Learning:
Algorithms explore unlabeled data to find hidden patterns, structures, or groupings, such as
clustering or dimensionality reduction.
Reinforcement Learning:
Algorithms learn through trial and error, receiving feedback (rewards or penalties) to optimize their
actions and achieve a specific goal, often used in game-playing or robotics.
Applications:
Image and speech recognition: Identifying objects in images and understanding spoken
language.
Natural language processing: Enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate
human language.
