Machine Learning

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows machines to learn and
improve from data. It uses algorithms to analyse data, identify patterns, and make
decisions. In simple terms, it's about teaching computers to make decisions or predictions
based on data.

Machine learning powers many of the technologies we use daily, such as personalized
recommendations, virtual assistants, and self-driving cars. It automates tasks, improves
efficiency, and enables systems to adapt in real-time to new information.

Components of Machine Learning

1. Data:
o Data is the foundation of ML. It can be images, text, numbers, or other
formats.
o Example: A dataset for teaching a computer to recognize dogs might contain
thousands of images of dogs.
2. Algorithms:
o Algorithms are the mathematical rules or steps used to process data and find
patterns.
o Examples: Linear regression, decision trees, neural networks.
3. Model:
o A model is the result of training an algorithm with data. It represents the
patterns the system has learned.
4. Training:
o The process of feeding data to an algorithm so it can learn.
o Example: Showing the algorithm thousands of labelled photos to teach it to
identify cats.
5. Prediction:
o Using the trained model to predict outcomes for new, unseen data.

Types of Machine Learning

1. Supervised Learning:
o The model learns using labelled data (where the answers are provided).
o Example: Teaching a system to recognize cats by showing pictures labelled
"cat" or "not cat."
2. Unsupervised Learning:
o The model learns patterns or structures in data without labels.
o Example: Grouping customers into similar behaviour categories (clustering).
3. Reinforcement Learning:
o The model learns by trial and error, receiving rewards or penalties for its
actions.
o Example: Training a robot to navigate a maze by rewarding it for reaching the
goal.
Real-World Applications of Machine Learning

1. Healthcare:
o Predicting diseases from medical scans.
o Personalizing treatments.
2. Finance:
o Detecting fraudulent transactions.
o Forecasting stock prices.
3. Transportation:
o Self-driving cars.
o Optimizing delivery routes.
4. Retail:
o Recommending products.
o Predicting inventory needs.
5. Entertainment:
o Suggesting movies or songs (e.g., Netflix, Spotify).
6. Natural Language Processing (NLP):
o Chatbots and virtual assistants.
o Translating languages (e.g., Google Translate).
