Machine Learning vs. Deep Learning vs. Neural Networks
Since deep learning and machine learning tend to be used interchangeably, it’s worth noting the nuances between the two. Machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks are all sub-fields of artificial intelligence. However, neural networks is actually a sub-field of machine learning, and deep learning is a sub-field of neural networks.
The way in which deep learning and machine learning differ is in how each algorithm learns. "Deep" machine learning can use labeled datasets, also known as supervised learning, to inform its algorithm, but it doesn’t necessarily require a labeled dataset. Deep learning can ingest unstructured data in its raw form (e.g., text or images), and it can automatically determine the set of features which distinguish different categories of data from one another. This eliminates some of the human intervention required and enables the use of larger data sets. You can think of deep learning as "scalable machine learning" as Lex Fridman notes in this MIT lecture (link resides outside ibm.com).
Classical, or "non-deep", machine learning is more dependent on human intervention to learn. Human experts determine the set of features to understand the differences between data inputs,
This document discusses decision tree induction algorithms and their splitting criteria. It covers ID3, CART, and C4.5 algorithms. ID3 uses information gain and entropy for splitting criteria. CART uses the Gini index. The Gini index measures impurity at each node, with 0 being pure and 0.5 being completely impure. C4.5 improves on ID3 by using the gain ratio, which normalizes information gain to account for attributes with many values. The document provides examples of computing the Gini index and error for different distributions of data classes at nodes.
The document discusses decision trees, including:
- The four main ingredients in constructing a decision tree: splitting rule, stopping rule, pruning rule, and prediction method.
- Common splitting rules use impurity functions like entropy and Gini impurity to choose the optimal split.
- Stopping and pruning rules help determine the size and complexity of the final tree model.
- Popular decision tree algorithms like CART and C5.0 are described along with their distinguishing features.
- Advantages of decision trees like interpretability are contrasted with disadvantages like potentially lower accuracy compared to other models.

Decision Trees - The Machine Learning Magic UnveiledLuca Zavarella
Often a Machine Learning algorithm is seen as one of those magical weapons capable of revealing possible future scenarios to whoever holds it. In truth, it's a direct application of mathematical and statistical concepts, which sometimes generate complex models to be interpreted as output. However, there are predictive models based on decision trees that are really simple to understand. In this slide deck I'll explain what is behind a predictive model of this type.

The document discusses classification techniques for supervised learning problems. It describes classification as predicting categorical class labels based on a training set of labeled data. The classification process involves constructing a model from the training set and then using the model to classify new unlabeled data. Common classification techniques discussed include decision tree induction, Bayesian classification methods, and rule-based classification. Model evaluation and techniques for improving accuracy, such as ensemble methods, are also covered.
Machine learning is an area of AI concerned with automatic learning. Some ways ML can be used in expert systems include increasing inference efficiency, testing the knowledge base, and acquiring knowledge. The ID3 algorithm constructs a decision tree from a set of examples to derive production rules, aiming to find a small tree efficiently. It selects the attribute with the highest information gain at each node to minimize uncertainty. However, ID3 has limitations such as handling noise, continuous values, and verifying rules on a full dataset.
Decision trees are a non-parametric hierarchical classification technique that can be represented using a configuration of nodes and edges. They are built using a greedy recursive algorithm that recursively splits training records into purer subsets based on splitting metrics like information gain or Gini impurity. Preventing overfitting involves techniques like pre-pruning by setting minimum thresholds or post-pruning by simplifying parts of the fully grown tree. Decision trees have strengths like interpretability but also weaknesses like finding only a local optimum and being prone to overfitting.
This document discusses classification and prediction in machine learning. It defines classification as predicting categorical class labels, while prediction models continuous values. The key steps of classification are constructing a model from a training set and using the model to classify new data. Decision trees and rule-based classifiers are described as common classification methods. Attribute selection measures like information gain and gini index are explained for decision tree induction. The document also covers issues in data preparation and model evaluation for classification tasks.
Decision trees are a machine learning technique that use a tree-like model to predict outcomes. They break down a dataset into smaller subsets based on attribute values. Decision trees evaluate attributes like outlook, temperature, humidity, and wind to determine the best predictor. The algorithm calculates information gain to determine which attribute best splits the data into the most homogeneous subsets. It selects the attribute with the highest information gain to place at the root node and then recursively builds the tree by splitting on subsequent attributes.
The document discusses decision trees for data mining and artificial intelligence. It describes how decision trees are constructed in a top-down manner by choosing attributes that best split the data at each node. The splitting attribute is selected using an impurity measure like information gain or gain ratio, which evaluate how well each attribute separates the data classes. Pruning techniques are also mentioned to simplify trees and avoid overfitting. Examples of decision tree applications in areas like credit risk assessment and disease diagnosis are provided.
The document discusses decision tree construction algorithms. It explains that decision trees are built in a top-down, recursive divide-and-conquer approach by selecting the best attribute to split on at each node, creating branches for each possible attribute value. It also discusses different splitting criteria like information gain and Gini index that are used to determine the best attribute to split on. Finally, it mentions several decision tree algorithms like ID3, C4.5, CART, SLIQ and SPRINT that use these concepts.
Decision trees are a type of predictive model that use a tree-like structure to determine the target variable value based on several input variable values. The document discusses the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm for generating decision trees. CART uses the Gini index as the splitting criterion to select the most important variables and build the tree by recursively splitting nodes until they are pure or as pure as possible, with one class at each terminal node. An example is provided to demonstrate how CART would build a decision tree to classify families as likely or not likely to purchase a riding lawn mower based on their income and lot size attributes in a sample dataset.
Decision trees are a supervised learning algorithm that can be used for both classification and regression problems. They work by recursively splitting the data into purer subsets based on feature values, building a tree structure. Information gain is used to determine the optimal feature to split on at each node. Trees are constructed top-down by starting at the root node and finding the best split until reaching leaf nodes. Pruning techniques like pre-pruning and post-pruning can help reduce overfitting. While simple to understand and visualize, trees can be unstable and prone to overfitting.

The document discusses applying machine learning techniques to identify compiler optimizations that impact program performance. It used classification trees to analyze a dataset containing runtime measurements for 19 programs compiled with different combinations of 45 LLVM optimizations. The trees identified optimizations like SROA and inlining that generally improved performance across programs. Analysis of individual programs found some variations, but also common optimizations like SROA and simplifying the control flow graph. Precision, accuracy, and AUC metrics were used to evaluate the trees' ability to classify optimizations for best runtime.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

3. Decision tree algorithm
● These are also termed as CART algorithms.
● These are used for
○ Classification and
○ Regression
● Classification and Regression Trees
4. Decision tree components
● Root node
○ It refers to the start of the decision tree with
maximum split ( information Gain)
● Node
○ Node is a condition with multiple outcomes in
the tree.
● Leaf
○ This is the final decision(end point) of a node
from the condition(question)
5.
6. Every node yields maximum data in each split which could be
achieved by IG
Information Gain ( IG )
7. It can be calculated by using impurity measures of each split
1. Gini Index (Ig)
2. Entropy ( Ih )
3. Classification error ( Ie )
Impurity Metrics
8. ● Root node is split to get maximum info gain.
● Increase in nodes in the tree causes overfitting.
● Splitting continues until each of the leaf is pure ( one of the
possible outcome )
● Pruning can also be done which means removal of
branches
which use features of low importance.
● Gini index ≅Entropy
● If uniform distribution , entropy is 1
Principle of spliting nodes
9. Split A
Parent data set ---> 40 items in feature 1 and 40 items in feature 2
Child 1 → 30 items in feature 1 and 10 items in feature 2
Child 2 → 10 items in feature 1 and 30 items in feature 2
Split B
Parent data set ---> 40 items in feature 1 and 40 items in feature 2
Child 1 → 20 items in feature 1 and 40 items in feature 2
Child 2 → 20 items in feature 1 and 0 items in feature 2
13. Comparison of all Impurity Metrics
Scaled Entropy = Entropy /2
Gini index is intermediate
values of impurity lying
between classification error
and Entropy .
14. Pros
:
● Simple to understand, interpret, visualize.
● It is effective to use in numerical and categorical data outcomes.
● Requires little effort from users for data preparation.
● Nonlinear relationships between parameters do not affect tree
performance.
● Able to handle irrelevant attributes ( Gain = 0 )
15. Cons :
● May make a complex tree with maximum depth.
● Unstable as small variation in input data may result in
completely different tree to get generated.
● As it is a greedy algorithm , may not find globally best tree for a
data set .
