Overview
Machine learning is a powerful tool used to create systems that can
learn from data. These systems can make predictions, automate
tasks, and extract insights. It is transforming various industries,
from healthcare to finance.

3 Supervised Learning
This type of learning requires labeled data, where the input
and corresponding output are known.
Unsupervised Learning
Clustering Dimensionality Reduction Unsupervised Learning
Groups data points into clusters Reduces the number of variables This type of learning works with
based on similarity. while retaining most of the unlabeled data, uncovering hidden
information in the data. patterns and relationships within

Bias-Variance Tradeoff
1 High Bias
The model is too simple and cannot capture the
underlying patterns in the data. This leads to
underfitting.
2 High Variance
The model is too complex and learns the noise in the
data. This leads to overfitting.
3 Optimal Balance
Finding the right balance between bias and variance
leads to a model that generalizes well to unseen
data.
