Machine Learning

1-2 What is machine learning

1. Perform on task T as measured by performance P, improve with experience E.
2. Types of machine learning algorithm:
   • Supervised learning$\to$ teaching
   • Unsupervised learning$\to$learning by itself
   • Reinforcement learning
   • recommender systems
3. Practical advice for applying learning algorithms

1-3 Supervised learning

1. The “right answer” were already given to the data set in the algorithm .
2. Deal with an infinite number of features.
3. Support Vector Machine, a neat mathematical track that allow a computer to with an infinite number of features.
4. Regression Problem(with continuous value) or Classification Problem (with discrete value )
   • Regression Problem: Predict results within a continuous output, map input variables to continuous function.
   • Classification Problem: Predict the results in a discrete output, map input variables to discrete categories.

1-4 Unsupervised learning

1. Given the data set we’re not told what to do with it , what each data point is and what effect of the variables.
2. Clustering Algorithm , cluster individuals (based on relationships among variables) into different categories or different types.
3. Cocktail Party Algorithm, find structure in a chaotic environment ( e. g. separate out two audio sources that were being summed together).
