Q & A
What is machine learning?
-Machine learning is a field of study that provides computers with the ability to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. It enables computer systems to think and learn on their own, effectively performing tasks that are typically done by humans and even beyond human capabilities.
Who coined the term 'machine learning' and when?
-Arthur Samuel coined the term 'machine learning' in 1959. He defined it as a field of study that gives computers the ability to learn from experience.
What are some real-world applications of machine learning?
-Real-world applications of machine learning include email spam filtering, fraud detection, online stock trading, face and shape recognition, product recommendation, and movie and TV show suggestions.
What are the six components of a generic machine learning model?
-The six components of a generic machine learning model are: 1) Collection and preparation of data, 2) Feature selection, 3) Choice of algorithm, 4) Selection of models and parameters, 5) Training of the model, and 6) Performance evaluation.
What is the purpose of feature selection in machine learning?
-Feature selection in machine learning is the process of selecting the most relevant data for the learning process. It ensures that only the necessary data that contribute to the learning process are used, which can improve the model's performance.
How does supervised learning differ from unsupervised learning?
-Supervised learning involves training the model with known input and output data to predict future outcomes, whereas unsupervised learning deals with training data that is not labeled, meaning there is no corresponding output data. The model in unsupervised learning tries to find patterns and relationships in the input data without any prior knowledge of the output.
What are the two categories of supervised learning?
-The two categories of supervised learning are regression and classification. Regression is used for predicting continuous variables, while classification is used when the output variable is categorical.
Can you provide an example of supervised learning in action?
-An example of supervised learning is spam filtering, where the algorithm is trained with labeled data (emails marked as 'spam' or 'not spam') to learn and predict whether new emails are spam or not.
What are the two main categories of unsupervised learning?
-The two main categories of unsupervised learning are clustering and association. Clustering is used for grouping similar objects together, while association is used for finding relationships between variables in a dataset.
How does clustering work in unsupervised learning?
-In unsupervised learning, clustering works by grouping objects into clusters so that objects with the most similarities are in the same group, and those with less or no similarities are in different groups. This is done without any prior knowledge of the groupings.
What are some popular machine learning algorithms mentioned in the script?
-Some popular machine learning algorithms mentioned in the script include linear regression, decision trees, support vector machines, k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and neural networks.

there are many uses for machine learning
in various Industries but what exactly
is machine learning and what are the
popular algorithms used to enable
systems with machine learning these are
some of the questions that I will answer
in this video Series in 1959 Arthur
samel coined this term which he defined
as a field of study that provides
learning capabilities to computers
without being explicitly programmed
today we typically Envision it as
computer systems that can think and
learn on their own machine learning is
effective in tasks performed by human
beings and tasks Beyond human
capabilities examples of real world
applications of machine learning with
high performance output are email spam
filtering fraud detection online stock
trading face and shape recognition
product recommendation and movies and TV
show
suggestions the generic model of machine
learning consists of six components
first is the collection of and
preparation of data the data needs to be
cleaned and pre-processed to a
structured format that can be given as
input to the machine learning
algorithm second feature selection it
means only the needed data that are
relevant to the learning process should
be obtained third is a choice of
algorithm there are many algorithms to
choose from selecting the best algorithm
for a problem at hand is imperative in
getting the best possible results fourth
select ction of models and parameters
most machine learning algorithms require
some initial manual intervention for
setting the most appropriate values of
various parameters fifth is the training
of the model using the training data
sixth performance evaluation this is
testing the model against unseen data to
evaluate how much has been learned using
various performance parameters like
accuracy precision and
recall machine learning has different
learning styles and are broadly
classified into two types first
supervised learning it is also called
learning via examples in this style of
learning a set of examples or training
modules are provided the algorithm
learns to respond more accurately by
comparing its output with those that are
given as input the model is trained with
known input and output data so that it
can predict future outputs
accordingly in short it is a method of
inputting labeled data into a model to
predict future outcomes categories of
supervised learning are regression and
classification regression is used if
there is a relationship between the
input variable and output variable it is
used for the prediction of continuous
variables such as in weather
forecasting on the other hand
classification is used when the output
variable is categorical which means
there are two classes such as yes no
male female and true false an example of
its applic application is in spam
filtering the second broad type is
unsupervised learning in this approach
the training data is not labeled which
means we have the input data but no
corresponding output
data it recognizes unknown patterns from
the data in order to derive rules from
them categories of unsupervised learning
are clustering and Association
clustering is used when grouping the
objects into clusters such that objects
with the most similarities remain into a
group and objects with less or no
similarities go to another group an
example of clustering is grouping image
data sets such as types of
fruits on the other hand Association is
finding the relationship between
variables in the large database it
determines the set of items that occur
together in the data set this is
typically applied to Market Basket
analysis let's say people who buy bread
also tend to purchase butter
to recap the supervised learning
approach develops predictive models
based on both input and output data the
algorithms under this approach can be
categorized as regression and
classification the unsupervised learning
approach groups and interprets data
based only on input data the methods
under this approach are categorized as
clustering and
Association there are a number of
algorithms for machine learning when we
say algorithm it is some definitive
Computing method that seizes several
values called input and generates some
results called output linear regression
decision Tre support vector k nearest
neighbor knif bias and neural network
are some of the popularly used kinds of
machine learning algorithms in
