Introduction to Machine Learning
Instructions: Answer all questions clearly and concisely. Support your answers with relevant examples where applicable. 1. Define machine learning. Explain what machine learning is, and discuss how it differs from traditional programming. Provide at least one real-world example of its application. 2. Describe the main types of machine learning. Discuss the following types in detail: • Supervised learning • Unsupervised learning • Semi-supervised learning • Reinforcement learning For each type, include the learning approach, types of problems it addresses, and real-world use cases. 3. Identify and describe common machine learning algorithms. List at least two algorithms under each type of machine learning. For each algorithm: • Name the algorithm • Specify the type of data it requires (e.g., labeled/unlabeled) • Describe one common application area 4. Explain the concept of data preprocessing in machine learning. Define data preprocessing and describe its importance. Outline the main steps involved in data preprocessing and explain the purpose of each step. 5. Differentiate between association analysis and cluster analysis. • Define association analysis and provide an example of an algorithm used for it. • Define cluster analysis and provide an example of an algorithm used for it. • Discuss the differences between these two analytical approaches and where each is typically applied.
