CH 1

Chapter 1 introduces machine learning, highlighting its necessity for businesses to utilize vast amounts of data effectively. It contrasts conventional programming with machine learning, emphasizing the latter's ability to learn from data without explicit programming. The chapter also outlines the knowledge pyramid, defining data, information, knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom in the context of machine learning.

Introduction to Machine Learning


Need For Machine Learning
• Business organizations use huge amount of data for their daily
activities
• Earlier this data was not utilized at full potential
– Two reasons
• Data being scattered at different archives and not able to integrate
• Lack of software tools to unearth useful information

• Popularity of machine learning


– High volume of available data to manage :FB, X (twitter), YouTube.
Gets doubled/year
– Cost of storage has reduced: cheap h/w, easy to capture, process,
store, distribute and transmit
– Availability of complex algorithms
The knowledge pyramid
• Data : All facts are data. Text, audio,
image, video etc
• Information: processed data. Include
patterns, associations/relationships
among data.
– Eg. Sales data can be analyzed to extract
information like which is the fast moving/selling
product
• Knowledge : condensed information
– Historical patterns and future trends of the above
sales example is called knowledge
• Intelligence: applied knowledge for
action /an actionable form of knowledge
• Wisdom: that represents maturity of
mind. So far, exhibited by humans only !!!
Machine learning explained

• Machine learning is important sub branch of AI


• Arthur Samuel. Pioneers of AI, “ machine learning is the field of study that gives
the computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed ”
– System should learn by itself without explicit programming
• Conventional programming uses predefined rules or logic to solve a problem, while
machine learning uses data to construct a model or logic for the problem
• Conventional programming relies on programming logic, while machine learning
depends on real-life data-driven approaches that involve learning and modeling.
• Conventional programming is a manual and fixed process, where the programmer
designs the solution explicitly, while machine learning is an automatic and flexible
process, where the algorithm learns from data to generate a solution.
• As humans take decisions based on an experience, computers make
models based on extracted patterns in the input data and then use these
data data-filled models for prediction and to take decisions.
What is model?

• A model can any one of the following


– Mathematical equation
– Relational diagrams like trees/graphs
– Logical if/else rules
– Groupings called clusters
• A model can be a formula, procedure or representation that can generate
data decisions

Pattern Model
Local and only applicable to Global and fits the entire
certain attributes dataset
