Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers to

learn from data and make decisions or predictions without being explicitly programmed for
specific tasks.

Key Concepts:

1. Data: ML models learn from structured or unstructured data.


2. Model: A mathematical representation trained on data to recognize
patterns.
3. Training: The process of feeding data to a model so it can learn.
4. Prediction/Inference: Using a trained model to make decisions on
new data.
5. Evaluation: Measuring model accuracy using metrics like accuracy,
precision, recall, etc.

Types of Machine Learning:

1. Supervised Learning
o Data includes inputs and known outputs (labels).
o Examples: Linear Regression, Decision Trees, Support Vector
Machines
o Applications: Spam detection, email classification, loan prediction

2. Unsupervised Learning
o Data has no labels; model finds hidden patterns.
o Examples: K-Means Clustering, PCA, Hierarchical Clustering
o Applications: Customer segmentation, anomaly detection

3. Semi-Supervised Learning
o Uses a small amount of labeled data and a large amount of
unlabeled data.
o Helps when labeling is expensive or time-consuming.

4. Reinforcement Learning
o An agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an
environment and receiving feedback (rewards or penalties).
o Applications: Game playing, robotics, self-driving cars
Common ML Algorithms:

 Linear Regression
 Logistic Regression
 Decision Trees
 Random Forest
 K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)
 Support Vector Machines (SVM)
 Neural Networks

Applications of Machine Learning:

 Facial recognition
 Medical diagnosis
 Financial forecasting
 Natural language processing (chatbots, translators)
 Recommendation systems (YouTube, Netflix, Amazon)
