2.1 Definition of Machine Learning

Machine learning is more than just a buzz-word — it is a technological tool that operates on the concept that a computer can learn information without human mediation. It uses algorithms to examine large volumes of information or training data to discover unique patterns. This system analyzes these patterns, groups them accordingly, and makes predictions. With traditional machine learning, the computer learns how to decipher information as it has been labeled by humans — hence, machine learning is a program that learns from a model of human-labeled datasets.

DATA ---Algorithms---> Patterns

2.2 supervised learning

Human already know the anwser, just use plenty of X to train machine to get hat Y which is close to real Y.

use of supervised learning:

1. linear regression

predict a number

such as house prize, base on the size of house, postcode, family numbers and so on.

2. classification

such as to know a patient situation, like cancer 1, cancer 2, and health.

2.4 unsupervised learning

Human don't know the answer, but machine can find the relationship between data.

use of unsupervised learning

1. clustering

to group people together

2.Anomoly detection

detect fraud or other unusual situation

3.dimensionality reduction

compress data using few numbers

3.1 Linear regression

f(x) = w x + b

f : result

x : feature, it could be a matrix

w : weight

b : error
