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., Autonumous helicopter, handwriting recognition, most of Natural Language Processing(NLP), computer vision.
Supervised Learning:
(Each example was labeled, Given the "right answer" for each example in the data)
-Regression: trying to predict a continuous value output(predict real-valued output)
-Classification:trying to predict a discrete valued output
Unsupervised Learning:
E.g., Google news, Organize computing clusters, social work analysis, market segmentation(PERSONA), astronomical data analysis, cocktail party problem.
