Introduction to Machine Learning

Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables


computers to learn from data and make decisions without being explicitly
programmed. It involves developing algorithms that can recognize patterns
and improve their performance over time.

Types of Machine Learning

1. Supervised Learning: The algorithm learns from labeled data, where


input-output pairs are provided. Examples include linear regression and
neural networks.

2. Unsupervised Learning: The algorithm identifies patterns in


unlabeled data, such as clustering and dimensionality reduction
techniques.

3. Reinforcement Learning: The model learns by interacting with its


environment and receiving rewards for correct actions.

Applications of Machine Learning

 Healthcare: Disease diagnosis, personalized treatment plans.

 Finance: Fraud detection, stock market predictions.

 Retail: Recommendation systems, demand forecasting.

 Autonomous Vehicles: Self-driving technology powered by deep


learning.

Challenges in Machine Learning

 Data Quality: The model’s accuracy depends on the quality and


quantity of data.

 Overfitting: When a model performs well on training data but poorly


on new data.
 Bias and Fairness: Ensuring models do not reinforce discrimination or
errors.

Machine learning continues to evolve, influencing various industries and


transforming the way technology interacts with the world.
