Python is an interpreted, object-oriented,
high-level programming language with
dynamic semantics.
What is
Python?
Often, programmers fall in love with
Python because of the increased
productivity it provides. Since there is no
compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle
is incredibly fast.

A classic example of a task that requires machine learning: It is very
hard to say what makes a 2
Recognizing patterns:
• Facial identities or facial expressions
• Handwritten or spoken words

Some • Medical images

Generating patterns:
examples that
• Generating images or motion sequences
machine
Recognizing anomalies:
learning • Unusual credit card transactions
solves • Unusual patterns of sensor readings in a nuclear
power plant

Prediction:
• Future stock prices or currency exchange rates
3 vital things to define

Task: Recognizing hand-written words

Performance Metric: Percentage of


words correctly classified

Experience: Database of human-labeled


images of handwritten words
Supervised (inductive) learning –

Types of • Given: training data + desired outputs (labels)

Learning Unsupervised learning –

• Given: training data (without desired outputs)
