Learning Basics:
A Glimpse into
the World of AI
By Ivy D. Encarnacion
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, students will be able to:
1. Define machine learning and differentiate between supervised and
unsupervised learning.
2. Identify common machine learning algorithms and their respective
applications.
3. Explain real-world applications of machine learning across various
industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, marketing, autonomous
vehicles, image and speech recognition).
What is Machine Learning?
• A field of artificial intelligence that gives computers the ability to
learn without being explicitly programmed.
• Machines learn from data and improve their performance over
time.
Types of Machine Learning
Supervised Learning: Algorithm learns from labeled data.
Applications:
• Regression (predicting numerical values)
• Classification (predicting categorical values)
Common Algorithms:
• Linear Regression
• Logistic Regression
• Decision Trees
• Random Forest
• Support Vector Machines (SVM)
• Neural Networks
Types of Machine Learning
Unsupervised Learning: Algorithm learns from unlabeled data.
Applications:
• Clustering (grouping similar data points)
• Dimensionality Reduction (reducing the number of features)
Common Algorithms:
• K-Means Clustering
• Hierarchical Clustering
• Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
Supervised Learning in Depth
Regression
Predicting a continuous numerical value.
Example: Predicting house prices based on features like size, location,
and number of bedrooms.

Classification
Predicting a categorical value.
Example: Classifying email as spam or not spam.
Unsupervised Learning in Depth
Clustering
Grouping similar data points together.
• Example: Segmenting customers based on their purchasing behavior.

Dimensionality Reduction
Reducing the number of features in a dataset.
• Example: Visualizing high-dimensional data in 2D or 3D.
Real-World Applications
Healthcare
• Disease diagnosis, drug discovery, patient risk prediction

Finance
• Fraud detection, algorithmic trading, risk assessment

Marketing
• Customer segmentation, recommendation systems, sentiment analysis
Real-World Applications
Autonomous Vehicles
• Self-driving cars, object detection, traffic prediction

Image and Speech Recognition


• Facial recognition, speech-to-text, image classification
Future of Machine Learning
• Advancements in deep learning
• Ethical considerations in AI
• Potential impact on society
