1.1—1.2

机器学习的定义和应用

1.3—1.4

监督学习（回归和分类）和无监督学习（聚类etc）

1.1 欢迎参加《机器学习》课程 | Welcome

• 机器学习在日常生活中有很多应用（e.g.搜索引擎排序，照片人脸识别etc）
• 但是只知道算法和数学公式是不够的，所以本课程还是设计了许多project，让你去了解ML的应用

（1）Machine Learning

• Grew out of work in Al（ML是AI发展出来的一个领域）
• New capability for computers

（2）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., Autonomous helicopter, handwriting recognition, most of Natural Language Processing(NLP), Computer Vision.
• Self-customizing programs
  E.g., Amazon, Netflix product recommendations

1.2 什么是机器学习 | What is machine Learning

（1）Machine Learning definition

• Arthur Samuel (1959).Machine Learning: Field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.
• Tom Mitchell (1998) Well-posed LearningProblem: A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some task T and some performance measure P, if its performance on T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.

练习1：判断E/T/P

（2）Machine learning algorithms

• Supervised learning
• Unsupervised learning

Others: Reinforcement learning, recommender systems.
Also talk about: Practical advice for applying learning algorithms.

1.3 监督学习 | Supervised learning

（1）Regression 回归

（2）Classification 分类

练习2：判断回归和分类

1.4 无监督学习 | Unsupervised learning

聚类算法（e.g. 新闻算法，市场分类etc）

其他算法，如鸡尾酒酒会算法

练习3：分辨监督学习和无监督学习
