机器学习学习笔记——1.1.1.1.1 Welcome to machine learning!（欢迎来到机器学习）

Welcome to Machine learning. What is machine learning? You probably use it many times a day without even knowing it. Anytime you want to find out something like how do I make a sushi roll? You can do a web search on Google, Bing or Baidu to find out. And that works so well because their machine learning software has figured out how to rank web pages. Or when you upload pictures to Instagram or Snapchat and think to yourself, I want to tag my friends so they can see their pictures. Well these apps can recognize your friends in your pictures and label them as well. That's also machine learning. Or if you've just finished watching a Star Wars movie on the video streaming service and you think what other similar movies can I watch? Well the streaming service will likely use machine learning to recommend something that you might like. Each time you use voice to text on your phone to write a text message. >> Hey Andrew, how's it going? >> Or tell your phone. Hey Siri play a song by Rihanna, or ask your other phone okay Google show me Indian restaurants near me. That's also machine learning. Each time you receive an email titled, Congratulations! You've won a million dollars. Well maybe you're rich, congratulations. Or more likely your email service will probably flag it as spam. That too is an application of machine learning.

Beyond consumer applications that you might use, AI is also rapidly making its way into big companies and into industrial applications. For example, I'm deeply concerned about climate change, and I'm glad to see that machine learning is already hoping to optimize wind turbine power generation. Or in healthcare, is starting to make its way into hospitals to help doctors make accurate diagnosis. Or recently at Landing AI have been doing a lot of work, putting computer vision into factories to help inspect if something coming off the assembly line has any defects. That's machine learning, it's the science of getting computers to learn without being explicitly programmed.

In this course, you learn about machine learning and get to implement machine learning and code yourself. Millions of others have taken the earlier version of this course, which is of course, that led to the founding of Coursera. And many learners ended up building exciting machine learning systems or even pursuing very successful careers in AI. I'm excited that you're on this journey with me. Welcome and let's get started.

欢迎来到机器学习的世界。什么是机器学习？你可能在一天中多次使用它，甚至没有意识到。每当你想找出答案，比如我怎么做寿司卷？你可以在谷歌、必应或百度上进行网络搜索来找到答案。这之所以有效，是因为他们的机器学习软件已经弄清楚了如何对网页进行排名。或者当你向Instagram或Snapchat上传图片并想给自己的朋友打标签时，这些应用程序可以识别出你图片中的朋友并为他们打上标签。这也是机器学习的应用。如果你刚刚在视频流媒体服务上看完了一部《星球大战》电影，然后想知道还有什么类似的电影可以看？那么，该流媒体服务很可能会使用机器学习来推荐一些你可能会喜欢的内容。每次你在电话上使用语音转文字功能写短信时。>>嘿，Andrew，怎么样？>>或者告诉你的手机，嘿Siri播放Rihanna的歌曲，或者让你的另一部手机好的Google显示我附近的印度餐馆。那也是机器学习的应用。每次你收到一封标题为“恭喜！你赢得了一百万美元”的电子邮件时。也许你真的很富有，恭喜你。但更有可能的是，你的电子邮件服务可能会将其标记为垃圾邮件。这也是机器学习的一种应用。

除了您可能使用的消费者应用之外，人工智能也正在迅速进入大公司和工业应用。例如，我非常关心气候变化，我很高兴看到机器学习已经在寻求优化风力发电。或者在医疗保健领域，开始进入医院帮助医生做出准确诊断。或者最近在Landing AI，我们做了很多工作，将计算机视觉引入工厂，帮助检查生产线上下线的产品是否有缺陷。这就是机器学习，它是让计算机在没有被明确编程的情况下学习的科学。

在这门课程中，你将了解机器学习，并且自己动手实现机器学习和编码。数百万其他人已经参加了这个课程的早期版本，这当然导致了Coursera的创立。许多学习者最终构建了令人兴奋的机器学习系统，甚至在人工智能领域追求了非常成功的职业生涯。我很兴奋你能与我一起踏上这段旅程。欢迎加入，让我们开始吧。
