1. Machine Learning Definition

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Machine Learning (ML): A subset of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from data patterns and make decisions or predictions without explicit programming.

  • Algorithm: A step-by-step procedure or set of rules used by ML models to analyze data and identify patterns.

  • Model: The mathematical or computational representation trained by an algorithm on data, used to make predictions or classifications.

  • Features: Input variables or attributes used by the model to make predictions (e.g., age, income).

  • Labels: The output or target variable that the model aims to predict or classify (e.g., spam or not spam).

  • Training Data: A dataset used to teach the model by adjusting its parameters based on input-output pairs.

Essential Points

  • Machine learning systems learn from data rather than relying on explicit instructions for each task.

  • It encompasses various types, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, each suited for different problems.
