Summary of Different Types of Learning

Main Ideas and Concepts

• Types of Machine Learning
  • Supervised Learning
    • Involves labeled data (input-output pairs).
    • The system learns to predict the output (y) from new input (x) based on training data.
    • Applications include Classification (discrete output) and Regression (continuous output).
  • Unsupervised Learning
    • Involves data without labels (only inputs).
    • The system identifies patterns or clusters in the data.
  • Reinforcement Learning
    • An agent interacts with an environment and learns from rewards or penalties.
    • Focuses on learning a policy to maximize overall utility over time.
  • Semi-Supervised Learning
    • Combines labeled and unlabeled data.
    • Useful when labeled data is limited but unlabeled data is abundant.
• Supervised Learning Details
  • Involves training on a dataset consisting of input features and corresponding target outputs.
  • The learning algorithm creates a model that can classify or predict outputs for new inputs.
  • Classification vs. Regression
    • Classification: Predicting discrete outcomes (e.g., risk assessment).
    • Regression: Predicting continuous outcomes (e.g., price prediction).
• Feature Importance
  • Features are quantifiable properties used to describe instances.
  • Different types of features: categorical, ordinal, integer-valued, and real-valued.
  • The selection of appropriate features is crucial for model performance.
• Examples of Applications
  • Classification Example: Credit scoring based on income and savings.
  • Regression Example: Predicting car prices based on mileage.
  • Medical Diagnosis: Classifying risk of heart disease based on patient records.
  • Entity Recognition: Identifying company names in text.
  • Image Recognition: Classifying images based on content.
• Training and Testing Phases
  • During training, the model learns from labeled examples.
  • During testing, the model predicts outputs for new instances based on learned features.
• Performance Metrics
  • Metrics include accuracy and probability of incorrect predictions, which are essential for evaluating model performance.
• Data Acquisition
  • Discusses methods for obtaining training data, such as manual annotation for text or labeled images.
