Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that uses computing systems to analyze data, recognize patterns and make decisions with minimal human involvement. There are two main types of machine learning: supervised learning, where the model learns from labeled examples with known outcomes, and unsupervised learning, where the model finds hidden patterns in unlabeled data. The machine learning process involves defining objectives, preparing data through techniques like normalization and feature engineering, building models, evaluating models on test data, and deploying selected models.

2. Machine Lg (ML)
• ML is a branch of artificial intelligence:
• Uses computing based systems to make sense
out of data
• Extracting patterns, fitting data to functions,
classifying
• ML systems can learn and improve
• With science and real noise data.

4. Supervised and Unsupervised Learning
• Unsupervised Learning
• There are not predefined and known set of outcomes
• relations in the data
• A typical example: Clustering

5. Supervised and Unsupervised Learning
• Supervised Learning
• For every example in the data there is always a predefined
outcome
• Models the relations between a set of descriptive features and
a target (Fits
• 2 groups of problems:
• Classification
• Regression

6. Supervised Learning
• Classification
• Predicts which class a given sample of data (sample of).
• Regression
• Predicts continuous values.

• Data Splitting
• Allocate data to different tasks
• model training
• performance evaluation
• Define Training, Validation and Test sets
• Feature Selection (Review the decision made previously)
• Estimating Performance
• Visualization of results – discovery interesting areas of the problem space
• Statistics and performance measures
• Evaluation and Model selection
• The ‘no free lunch’ theorem no a priory assumptions can be made
• Avoid use of favorite models if NEEDED
