This document provides an introduction to machine learning, including:
- It discusses how the human brain learns to classify images and how machine learning systems are programmed to perform similar tasks.
- It provides an example of image classification using machine learning and discusses how machines are trained on sample data and then used to classify new queries.
- It outlines some common applications of machine learning in areas like banking, biomedicine, and computer/internet applications. It also discusses popular machine learning algorithms like Bayes networks, artificial neural networks, PCA, SVM classification, and K-means clustering.
