Lect01-Introduction To ML

This document provides an introduction to machine learning. It defines machine learning as enabling computers to learn from experience with respect to a task and performance measure. The document discusses how machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data and statistics. It also defines the key components of a learning task as the task, the performance metric, and experience. The document concludes by discussing the different types of machine learning, including supervised, reinforcement, and unsupervised learning.

Introduction to Course
2

 In this course we will go back to mathematics


and study statistics, and how to calculate
important numbers based on data sets.
 We will also learn how to use various Python
modules to get the answers we need.
 And we will learn how to make functions that
are able to predict the outcome based on
what we have learned.
What is machine learning?
3

 Machine learning adapts to the user based on data


 Online shopping(visiting amazon for 1st time, Machine is learning at
that time and the 2nd time when u r visiting he will give you some
recommendations etc.)
 Machine learning is a sub-field of artificial intelligence. Its goal is
to enable computers to learn on their own.

 “A computer program is said to learn from experience E with


respect to some task T and some performance measure P, if its
performance on T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.”
“Tom Mitchell”
Defining the Learning Task
4

 Improve on task T, with respect to performance metric P, based on


experience E
 An agent solves a task T, Performance P and gain some experience
E
 For example: Playing checker game

 T: Playing checkers
 P: Percentage of games won against an arbitrary opponent
 E: Playing practice games against itself

Hand written recognition Problem


 T: Recognizing hand-written words
 P: Percentage of words correctly classified
 E: Database of human-labeled images of handwritten words

 Machine Learning is making the computer


learn from studying data and statistics.
 Machine Learning is a step into the direction
of artificial intelligence (AI).
 Machine Learning is a program that analyses
data and learns to predict the outcome.

 Herbert Simon: “Learning is any process by


which a system improves performance from
experience.”

 AI(It enables the machine to think)


 ML(It provides statistical

tools to explore the data)


 DL(Create architecture)
Examples of tasks that are best solved
by using a learning algorithm
9

 Recognizing patterns:
 Facial identities or facial expressions
 Handwritten or spoken words
 Medical images
 Generating patterns:
 Generating images
 Recognizing anomalies:
 Unusual credit card transactions
 Unusual patterns of sensor readings in a nuclear power
plant
 Prediction:
 Future stock prices or currency exchange rates

 Supervised learning: uses a series of labelled


examples with direct feedback
 Someone gives us examples and the right answer for those
examples
 We have to predict the right answer for unseen examples
 Reinforcement learning: indirect feedback, after
many examples
 We take actions and get rewards
 Have to learn how to get high rewards
 Unsupervised/clustering learning:
 We see examples but get no feedback
 We need to find patterns in the data
