Introduction to Machine Learning

1. Definition and Overview


Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that focuses on the development of
algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to perform tasks without explicit instructions,
relying on patterns and inference.

2. Types of Machine Learning


● Supervised Learning: Learning with labeled data (e.g., regression, classification).
● Unsupervised Learning: Finding hidden patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., clustering, association).
● Reinforcement Learning: Learning via rewards and penalties (e.g., game playing, robotics).

3. Common Algorithms
• Linear Regression

• Logistic Regression

• Decision Trees and Random Forests

• Support Vector Machines

• K-Means Clustering

• Neural Networks

4. Evaluation Metrics
• Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score (Classification)

• Mean Squared Error, R-squared (Regression)

• Silhouette Score (Clustering)

5. Practical Considerations
- Data Preprocessing: Cleaning, normalization, feature engineering.
- Overfitting vs Underfitting: Bias-variance tradeoff.
- Model Selection and Hyperparameter Tuning: Cross-validation, grid search.
- Deployment: Integrating models into production environments.
