Understanding Machine Learning
Understanding Machine Learning
Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) focused on building applications that
learn from data and improve their accuracy over time without being explicitly programmed.
1. Overview of Machine Learning
- Definition, history, and the role of ML in modern technology.
2. Supervised Learning
- Linear regression, logistic regression, and real-world applications.
- Classification and regression problems.
3. Unsupervised Learning
- Clustering: k-means, hierarchical clustering.
- Dimensionality reduction: PCA and t-SNE.
4. Reinforcement Learning
- Basics of RL and examples like game AI and robotics.
5. Training Machine Learning Models
- Steps for data preparation, feature engineering, and data cleaning.
6. Evaluating Model Performance
- Metrics: Accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.
- Cross-validation and overfitting concepts.
7. Real-world Applications of Machine Learning
- Applications in healthcare, finance, and e-commerce.
8. Introduction to Deep Learning
- Neural networks, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs).
9. Tools and Frameworks for Machine Learning
- TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn.
10. Challenges and Ethics in Machine Learning
- Bias in algorithms, data privacy concerns, and explainability in ML models.
