Introduction to Machine
Learning

Few examples of machine learning that
really ground what machine learning is
all about.
• Spam Detection: Given email in an inbox,
identify those email messages that are spam and
those that are not. Having a model of this problem
would allow a program to leave non-spam emails
in the inbox and move spam emails to a spam
folder. We should all be familiar with this example.
• Credit Card Fraud Detection: Given credit card
transactions for a customer in a month, identify
those transactions that were made by the
customer and those that were not. A program with
a model of this decision could refund those
transactions that were fraudulent.
• Digit Recognition: Given a zip codes hand
written on envelops, identify the digit for
each hand written character. A model of this
problem would allow a computer program to
read and understand handwritten zip codes
and sort envelops by geographic region.
• Speech Understanding: Given an utterance
from a user, identify the specific request
made by the user. A model of this problem
would allow a program to understand and
make an attempt to fulfil that request. The
iPhone with Siri has this capability.
• Face Detection: Given a digital photo album of
many hundreds of digital photographs, identify those
photos that include a given person. A model of this
decision process would allow a program to organize
photos by person. Some cameras and software like
iPhoto has this capability.

• Product Recommendation: Given a purchase


history for a customer and a large inventory of
products, identify those products in which that
customer will be interested and likely to purchase. A
model of this decision process would allow a program
to make recommendations to a customer and
motivate product purchases. Amazon has this
capability. Also think of Facebook, GooglePlus and
LinkedIn that recommend users to connect with you
after you sign-up.
• Medical Diagnosis: Given the
symptoms exhibited in a patient and a
database of anonymized patient records,
predict whether the patient is likely to have an
illness. A model of this decision problem could
be used by a program to provide decision
support to medical professionals.

• Stock Trading: Given the current and past


price movements for a stock, determine
whether the stock should be bought, held or
sold. A model of this decision problem could
provide decision support to financial analysts.
• Customer Segmentation: Given the pattern of
behaviour by a user during a trial period and the past
behaviours of all users, identify those users that will
convert to the paid version of the product and those
that will not. A model of this decision problem would
allow a program to trigger customer interventions to
persuade the customer to covert early or better
engage in the trial.

• Shape Detection: Given a user hand drawing a


shape on a touch screen and a database of known
shapes, determine which shape the user was trying to
draw. A model of this decision would allow a program
to show the platonic version of that shape the user
drew to make crisp diagrams. The Instaviz iPhone app
does this.
