Introduction to

Machine Learning:

What is Machine Learning?

Machine learning is a field of computer science that enables computers to
learn from data without explicit programming. It uses algorithms to analyze
data, identify patterns, and make predictions.

Why is Machine Learning Important?

1 Machine Learning is important because it has the ability to process

and analyze vast amounts of data, which would be impossible for
humans to handle manually.

By learning from data, machines can automate tasks, predict outcomes,

2
and make decisions faster and more accurately than humans in many
cases.

3 This is why industries like healthcare, finance, and e-commerce

are increasingly relying on Machine Learning to improve efficiency,
reduce costs, and enhance customer experience.

Types of Machine Learning
Supervised Learning
Models learn from labeled data, where both inputs and desired outputs are
provided. Ex: Regression, classification

Unsupervised Learning
Models discover patterns and structures in unlabeled data, without specific
outputs. Ex: Clustering

Semi-Supervised Learning
Models learn from a combination of labeled and unlabeled data, leveraging
both types of information.

Reinforcement Learning
Models learn through trial and error, receiving rewards for desired actions
and penalties for undesired ones.

 Supervised Learning
1
Training
The model is trained on labeled data
learning to associate inputs with
their corresponding outputs.

2
Evaluation
The model's performance is
evaluated
based on its accuracy in predicting
outputs for a separate test
dataset.
3
Prediction
The trained model uses the learned
patterns to predict the output for new,
unseen inputs. preencoded.png
Unsupervised Learning

Clustering Grouping similar data points

together.

Association Rule Mining Discovering relationships and

patterns between data points.

Dimensionality Reduction Simplifying data by reducing the

number of features.

Semi-Supervised Learning

Leverages both types of data

Combines labeled and unlabeled data to improve learning efficiency.

Reduces labeling effort

Requires less labeled data compared to supervised learning.

Improves accuracy
Utilizes unlabeled data to enhance model performance.

Reinforcement Learning
1 Agent-Environment Interaction
The agent interacts with its environment and receives
rewards or penalties for its actions.

2 Learning through Experience

The agent learns to maximize rewards by adjusting its
behaviour based on past experiences.

3 Goal-Oriented
The agent aims to achieve a specific goal, such as winning a
game or optimizing a process.
