Machine Learning Basics

Machine learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data and improve their performance on tasks without explicit programming. It involves training models on data to make predictions or classifications, with key processes including data collection, preprocessing, model selection, training, evaluation, and deployment. There are various types of ML, such as supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, each with distinct approaches to learning from data.

Machine learning basics. A bit about machine learning | by ...

Machine learning (ML) is a field


of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers to learn from data without explicit
programming, improving their performance on specific tasks over time. It involves training
models on data to make predictions or classifications, and these models can be used to solve
various problems.

Here's a breakdown of the basics:

Core Concepts:

Learning from Data:

ML algorithms learn patterns and relationships from data, allowing them to make
predictions or decisions.

Models:

ML models are mathematical representations that learn from data and make predictions.

Training:

The process of feeding data to a model so it can learn and improve its predictions.

Evaluation:

Assessing the performance of a model on unseen data to ensure it generalizes well.

Algorithms:

The methods and techniques used to train and evaluate ML models.

Types of Machine Learning:

Supervised Learning:

The model is trained on labeled data, where the algorithm is provided with inputs and
corresponding desired outputs.

Unsupervised Learning:

The model is trained on unlabeled data, allowing the algorithm to find patterns and
relationships independently.

Reinforcement Learning:

The model learns by interacting with an environment and receiving feedback in the form of
rewards or penalties.

Key Steps in the Machine Learning Process:

Data Collection: Gathering the data that will be used to train the model.

Data Preprocessing: Cleaning, transforming, and preparing the data for use in the model.
Model Selection: Choosing the appropriate ML algorithm or model for the task.

Model Training: Training the model on the prepared data.

Model Evaluation: Assessing the performance of the trained model.

Hyperparameter Tuning: Optimizing the model's parameters to improve its performance.

Predictions and Deployment: Using the trained model to make predictions and deploy it for
real-world applications
