3. Introduction to
Machine Learning
● Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence
that involves the development of algorithms and
statistical models that enable computers to perform
tasks without explicit instructions.
● Key concepts include training data, which is used to
teach the model; algorithms, which are the set of rules
the model follows; and prediction, which is the model's
output based on new data.
● Machine learning is broadly categorized into
supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning,
each serving different purposes and applications.

4. Ethical Considerations
Theoretical focuses on the
development of algorithms and
mathematical models. Applied
emphasizes practical
implementations in industries such
as healthcare, finance, and retail.
Theoretical vs. Applied Supervised vs. Unsupervised
Types of Perspectives in Machine Learning
Supervised learning uses labeled
data to train models, while
unsupervised learning finds hidden
patterns in unlabeled data.
Examples include classification and
clustering, respectively.
Addresses issues like bias, fairness,
and privacy in machine learning.
Ensures technology benefits all
users without discrimination or
harm.

5. Theoretical Perspective ● The theoretical perspective of machine learning delves
into the algorithms and models that form the backbone of
the field.
● It involves understanding the mathematical foundations,
such as probability theory, linear algebra, and optimization
techniques, which are essential for developing effective
machine learning models.
● This perspective emphasizes the importance of rigorously
proving the properties and performance of algorithms to
ensure reliability and efficiency.
● Key components include understanding how algorithms
learn from data, the trade-offs between different models,
and the theoretical limits of what can be achieved by
machine learning.

6. Applied Perspective
● The applied perspective of machine learning emphasizes
its practical use in various industries to solve real-world
problems.
● For instance, in healthcare, machine learning algorithms
improve diagnostic accuracy and personalize treatment
plans. In finance, they enhance fraud detection and
automate trading.
● Retail businesses leverage machine learning for customer
segmentation and demand forecasting. Additionally, in the
field of transportation, machine learning is used for route
optimization and predictive maintenance.
● By focusing on tangible outcomes and industry-specific
solutions, the applied perspective bridges the gap
between theoretical models and practical implementations.

7. Supervised vs. Unsupervised Learning
● Involves training a model on labeled data.
● Examples: Classification (e.g., spam detection),
Regression (e.g., predicting house prices).
● Requires a large dataset with input-output pairs.
● More interpretable results and easier to evaluate.
● Involves training a model on unlabeled data.
● Examples: Clustering (e.g., customer
segmentation), Association (e.g., market basket
analysis).
● Useful for discovering hidden patterns or intrinsic
structures.
● Often harder to evaluate and interpret results.

8. Privacy Concerns
Algorithms can inadvertently learn
and perpetuate biases present in
training data, leading to unfair
outcomes in applications such as
hiring, lending, and law
enforcement.
Bias in Machine Learning Fairness and Accountability
Ethical Considerations
Ensuring fairness involves creating
models that do not
disproportionately benefit or harm
any group, requiring transparency
and accountability in model
development and deployment.
Machine learning models often
require large amounts of data,
raising concerns about how this
data is collected, stored, and used,
and the potential for misuse or data
breaches.

9. Increased focus on explainable
AI to make machine learning
models more transparent and
understandable.
Advancements in ethical
frameworks will ensure fairer
and more responsible AI
systems.
Future Directions
Integration of machine learning
with quantum computing could
vastly accelerate computational
capabilities.
