Basics of Machine Learning Part 1

This document provides an overview of machine learning, including: - Machine learning involves systems that improve with experience similar to human learning. It studies algorithms and systems that gain knowledge from data. - Learning requires patterns in data that cannot be described mathematically and availability of training data. - Types of learning include supervised learning (labeled input/output data), unsupervised learning (unlabeled input data), and reinforcement learning (input, output, reward feedback).
