Course: Introduction to Machine Learning
Author: Student Notes Compilation
Level: Undergraduate / Beginner Level
=================================================
1. What is Machine Learning?
-------------------------------------------------
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that focuses on
enabling machines to learn from data and make predictions or decisions.
=================================================
2. Types of ML
-------------------------------------------------
- Supervised Learning: Learns from labeled data (e.g., Linear Regression, SVM).
- Unsupervised Learning: Learns patterns from unlabeled data (e.g., K-Means, PCA).
- Reinforcement Learning: Learns by interacting with an environment using rewards.
=================================================
3. Common Algorithms
-------------------------------------------------
- Linear Regression
- Decision Trees
- Random Forests
- K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)
- Support Vector Machines (SVM)
- Neural Networks
=================================================
4. Applications
-------------------------------------------------
- Email spam filtering
- Image recognition
- Stock price prediction
- Customer segmentation
=================================================
5. Study Resources
-------------------------------------------------
- Andrew Ng’s ML course on Coursera
- Scikit-learn documentation
- Kaggle datasets and competitions
=================================================
Study Tip:
-------------------------------------------------
Practice building ML models using scikit-learn or TensorFlow on real datasets.
