Andrew Ng《Machine Learning》notes one

00.Machine Learning

• Grew out of work in AI
• New capability for computers
  Examples:
• Database mining
  Large datasets from growth of automation/web.
  E.g.,Web click data,medical records,biology,engineering
• Applications can’t program by hand.
  E.g.,Autonomouos helicopter,handwriting recognition,most of
  Natural Language Processing(NLP),Computer Vision
• Self-customizing programs
  E.g.,Amazon,Netflix product recommendations
• Understanding human learning(brain,real AI).

01.Machine learning algorithms:

• Supervised learning
  the idea is that we’re going to teach the computer how to do something.
• unsupervised learning
  we’re going let it learn by itself.
  Others: Reinforcement learning, recommender systems.
  Also talk about:Practical advice for applying learning algorithms.
  ⭐You have all these tools,but the more important thing,is to learn how to use have all these tools these tools properly.There’s a huge difference between people that know how to use these machines learning algorithms,versus people who don’t know how to use these tools well.
  ⭐⭐You must have a good grasp of the basics and understand the differences between various machine learning algorithms.
  学习这些基本的机器学习知识只是打基石，如何熟练的使用各种算法或者改进算法解决实际问题才是进阶能力。
