1. Introduction

• Machine learning enables computers to learn from data without explicit


programming.

• Widely used in predictive analytics, NLP, and image recognition.

• Key types: supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning.

• Comparing algorithms helps choose the best model for specific tasks.

• Consider performance, speed, scalability, interpretability, and complexity.


Why Compare ML
Algorithms?
• Machine learning algorithms differ in performance based on the type of
data and the specific problem.
• Choosing the right algorithm impacts model accuracy, efficiency, and
interpretability.
• We’ll compare algorithms based on real-world use cases to highlight
their strengths and limitations.
• Considerations for selecting an algorithm:
1.Type of problem (regression, classification, clustering)
2.Data size and quality
3.Model complexity and interpretability
Use Cases for Regression
Algorithms
• Linear Regression assumes a linear relationship between input features and output, making it
ideal for simple predictions like prices or sales.
• Logistic Regression is used when you want to predict a categorical outcome, especially in
binary classification tasks such as predicting disease presence.
• Advantages:
Both models are interpretable and easy to implement.
• Limitations:
Linear Regression struggles with non-linear data.
Logistic Regression isn’t ideal for complex, multi-class problems.

ALGORITHM USE CASES WHY IT WORKS?

Sales forecasting, housing price


LINEAR REGRESSION Simple linear relationships between features and output
prediction, stock prices

Medical diagnosis (binary


LOGISTIC REGRESSION classification), fraud detection, Works well when the output is binary (0/1, yes/no)
spam detection
Use Cases for Decision Trees and Random
Forest
• Decision Trees are highly interpretable, making them suitable for decision-making processes
like loan approvals or medical diagnoses where understanding the reasoning is critical.
• Random Forest reduces overfitting by using an ensemble of decision trees, making it more
robust in complex tasks like fraud detection and stock market predictions.
• Advantages:
Decision Trees are fast to train and easy to visualize.
Random Forest improves accuracy and handles large datasets well.
• Limitations:
Decision Trees can easily overfit, especially when the data is noisy.
Random Forest models are harder to interpret due to their complexity.

ALGORITHM USE CASES WHY IT WORKS?

Loan approval, customer


DECISION TREES segmentation, medical Easy to interpret and explain to stakeholders
diagnoses

Fraud detection, credit scoring, Combines multiple trees for better accuracy and
RANDOM FOREST
stock market predictions less overfitting
Use Cases for SVM and K-Means
Clustering
• SVM is great for tasks that require identifying boundaries between categories, like distinguishing
between faces in images or spam vs. non-spam emails. It excels in high-dimensional spaces (e.g.,
text data).
• K-Means Clustering is a powerful tool in unsupervised learning, where you don't have labeled
data. It’s commonly used in customer segmentation and anomaly detection by grouping data into
similar clusters.
• Advantages:
SVM is effective for complex tasks, particularly in classification problems.
K-Means is fast and scalable to large datasets.
• Limitations:
SVM can be slow with large datasets and harder to interpret.
K-Means requires prior knowledge of the number of clusters.
ALGORITHM USE CASES WHY IT WORKS?

Image recognition, text


SVM Effective in high-dimensional spaces
classification, face detection

Market segmentation, anomaly


K-Means CLUSTERING Groups data points into clusters based on similarity
detection, image compression
Use Cases for Neural Networks and PCA
• Neural Networks are designed to handle complex patterns in data, which is why they excel in deep
learning applications like speech recognition (e.g., Siri) and autonomous driving systems.
• PCA is widely used for dimensionality reduction. It helps reduce the number of input features in a dataset,
which can simplify models and make them more efficient, especially in tasks like image compression.
• Advantages:
Neural Networks can model very complex relationships in data, making them suitable for tasks
like NLP and computer vision.
PCA improves model efficiency and helps visualize high-dimensional data.
• Limitations:
Neural Networks require large datasets and are often seen as "black boxes" with low
interpretability.
PCA can lose some interpretability of the original features.
ALGORITHM USE CASES WHY IT WORKS?

Speech recognition, image


NEURAL NETWORKS Handles complex, unstructured data effectively
classification, autonomous
driving

Principal Component Analysis Feature reduction, data Reduces the complexity of datasets by
(PCA) visualization, dimensionality transforming features
reduction
Use Cases for Reinforcement Learning

• Reinforcement Learning (RL) involves learning through trial and error, which makes it
perfect for environments that require sequential decision-making like robotics and game AI
(e.g., AlphaGo).
• RL is also widely used in the development of self-driving cars, where the system learns from
interactions with its environment.
• Advantages:
RL handles real-time decision-making and adapts to new environments.
• Limitations:
Requires large amounts of data and can be difficult to train effectively.

ALGORITHM USE CASES WHY IT WORKS?

Game AI (AlphaGo), robotics, Learns by interacting with the environment, making it ideal
REINFORCEMENT LEARNING
autonomous systems for decision-driven tasks
Conclusion
• No single algorithm works best for all tasks.
• The choice depends on the problem, data, and specific needs.
• Factors to consider: accuracy, interpretability, scalability.
• Simple algorithms (e.g., Linear and Logistic Regression) work well for
smaller, interpretable problems.
• Complex algorithms (e.g., Neural Networks, SVM) handle high-
dimensional or unstructured data but need more resources.
• Clustering and PCA are useful for unlabeled data or reducing complexity.
• Always balance accuracy, training time, interpretability, and data
availability when selecting an algorithm.
