- Machine learning is a field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed by using example data. It is a form of artificial intelligence.
- There are three main types of machine learning: supervised learning where examples are labeled, unsupervised learning where unlabeled examples reveal inherent groupings of data, and reinforcement learning where an agent learns from trial and error using rewards.
- Machine learning has many applications including web search, computational biology, finance, robotics, and social networks. It involves collecting and preparing data, developing models, and evaluating models to make predictions on new data.
3. INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE
LEARNING
Machine learning is programming computers to optimize a performance criterion
using example data or past experience.
There is no need to “learn” to calculate payroll
Learning is used when:
• Human expertise does not exist (navigating on Mars),
• Humans are unable to explain their expertise (speech recognition)
• Solution changes in time (routing on a computer network)
• Solution needs to be adapted to particular cases (user biometrics)

being explicitly programmed. ML is one of the most exciting technologies that one would have
ever come across. As it is evident from the name, it gives the computer that which

• Machine learning is actively being used today, perhaps in many more places than one would
expect.

6. KEY TERMINOLOGY
Labels
A label is the thing we're predicting—the y variable in simple linear
regression. The label could be the future price of wheat, the kind of animal
shown in a picture, the meaning of an audio clip, or just about anything.
Features
A feature is an input variable—the x variable in simple linear regression.
A simple machine learning project might use a single feature, while a more
sophisticated machine learning project could use millions of features,
specified as: x1,x2,...xN
Models
A model defines the relationship between features and label. For example,
a spam detection model might associate certain features strongly with
"spam".

10. LEARNING PHASE
In Learning Phase, the machine learns through the discovery of patterns.
This discovery is made thanks to the data. One crucial part of the data
scientist is to choose carefully which data to provide to the machine.
The list of attributes used to solve a problem is called a feature
vector. You can think of a feature vector as a subset of data that is used
to tackle a problem.
The machine uses some fancy algorithms to simplify the reality and
transform this discovery into a model.
Therefore, the learning stage is used to describe the data and summarize
it into a model.
10
12. • When the model is built, it is possible to test how powerful it is on never-seen-
before data.
• The new data are transformed into a features vector, go through the model and
give a prediction.
• This is all the beautiful part of machine learning.There is no need to update the
rules or train again the model.
• You can use the model previously trained to make inference on new data.

Inference Phase
14. SUPERVISED MACHINE
LEARNING
• The process of algorithm learning from the training dataset can be thought of as a teacher supervising
the learning process.
• The possible outcomes are already known and training data is also labeled with correct answers.
• The algorithm generates a function that maps inputs to desired outputs.
• One standard formulation of the supervised learning task is the classification problem: the learner is
required to learn (to approximate the behavior of) a function which maps a vector into one of several
classes by looking at several input-output examples of the function.
14
15. Suppose we have input variables x and an output variable y and we applied an
algorithm to learn the mapping function from the input to output such as − Y = F(X)
Now, the main goal is to approximate the mapping function so well that when we
have new input data (x), we can predict the output variable (Y) for that data.
Mainly supervised leaning problems can be divided into the following two kinds of
problems −
1. Classification − A problem is called classification problem when we have the
categorized output such as “black”, “teaching”, “non-teaching”, etc.
2. Regression − A problem is called regression problem when we have the real
value output such as “distance”, “kilogram”, etc.Decision tree, random forest, knn, logistic
regression are the examples of supervised machine learning algorithms.

SUPERVISED MACHINE
LEARNING
16. • This algorithms do not have any supervisor to provide any sort of guidance.
• That is why unsupervised machine learning algorithms are closely aligned with
what some call true artificial intelligence
• we have input variable x, then there will be no corresponding output variables
as there is in supervised learning algorithms.
• In unsupervised learning there will be no correct answer and no teacher for the
guidance. Algorithms help to discover interesting patterns in data.
16
Unsupervised Machine Learning
17. Unsupervised learning problems can be divided into the following
two kinds of problem −
1. Clustering − In clustering problems, we need to discover the inherent
groupings in the data. For example, grouping customers by their
purchasing behavior.
2. Association − A problem is called association problem because such
kinds of problem require discovering the rules that describe large
portions of our data. For example, finding the customers who buy
both x and y.

18. REINFORCEMENT
MACHINE LEARNING
• Reinforcement Learning is a feedback-based Machine learning technique in which an agent
learns to behave in an environment by performing the actions and seeing the results of
actions. For each good action, the agent gets positive feedback, and for each bad action,
the agent gets negative feedback or penalty.
• The agent learns automatically using feedbacks without any labeled data, unlike supervised
learning.
• There is no labeled data, so the agent is bound to learn by its experience only. RL solves a
specific type of problem where decision making is sequential, and the goal is long-term,
such as game-playing, robotics, etc.
• The agent interacts with the environment and explores it by itself. The primary goal of an
agent in reinforcement learning is to improve the performance by getting the maximum
positive rewards.
18
19. REINFORCEMENT MACHINE LEARNING
• Agent learns from trail and error
• Environment where the Agents moves.
• Actions where all possible steps that the agent
can take.
• States where current condition returned by the
environment
• Reward where an instant return from the
environment.

23. Building Machine Learning applications is an iterative process that
involves a sequence of steps. To build an ML application, follow
these general steps:
• Frame the core ML problem(s) in terms of what is observed and what answer you want
the model to predict.
• Collect, clean, and prepare data to make it suitable for consumption by ML model
training algorithms. Visualize and analyze the data to run sanity checks to validate the
quality of the data and to understand the data.
• Often, the raw data (input variables) and answer (target) are not represented in a way
that can be used to train a highly predictive model. Therefore, you typically should
attempt to construct more predictive input representations or features from the raw
variables.
• Feed the resulting features to the learning algorithm to build models and evaluate the
quality of the models on data that was held out from model building.
• Use the model to generate predictions of the target answer for new data instances.
