Machine Learning Basic Topics - Simplified Notes

1. What is Machine Learning? Types of Machine Learning

Machine Learning (ML) is a way to teach computers to learn from data and make decisions on their

own, without being told exactly what to do every time.

Types:

- Supervised Learning: Learns from data with answers (like predicting house prices).

- Unsupervised Learning: Learns patterns from data without answers (like grouping customers).

- Semi-supervised Learning: Mix of labeled and unlabeled data.

- Reinforcement Learning: Learns from rewards and penalties (like a robot learning to walk).

2. Types of Regularization & Difference between Lasso and Ridge

Regularization helps reduce overfitting.

- L1 Regularization (Lasso): Can make some features zero, helps in feature selection.

- L2 Regularization (Ridge): Reduces the effect of features but doesn't remove them.

Difference: Lasso removes features, Ridge shrinks them.

3. Regression & Types of Regression

Regression is used to predict numbers (continuous values).

Types:

- Linear Regression: Straight-line prediction.

- Polynomial Regression: Curve-based prediction.

- Ridge Regression: Linear regression with L2 regularization.


- Lasso Regression: Linear regression with L1 regularization.

- ElasticNet: Mix of Ridge and Lasso.

- Logistic Regression: Used for classification (yes/no).

4. Logistic Regression

Used to classify things like spam/not spam. Uses sigmoid function to give result between 0 and 1.

5. Decision Tree

A flowchart-like model that asks questions to make a decision. Easy to understand but can overfit.

6. Random Forest

A group of many decision trees. Each gives a prediction, final answer is by majority vote. More

accurate than a single tree.

7. 7 Algorithms in Supervised Learning

- Linear Regression

- Logistic Regression

- Decision Tree

- Random Forest

- K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)

- Naive Bayes

- Support Vector Machine (SVM)
