Computer Science Notes: Introduction to Machine Learning

1. What is Machine Learning?


 A subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that allows systems to learn from data.
 Improves performance without explicit programming.
 Involves pattern recognition and decision making.
2. Types of Machine Learning
 Supervised Learning:
 Uses labeled data.
 Examples: Linear Regression, Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines (SVM), k-NN
 Unsupervised Learning:
 Uses unlabeled data.
 Examples: Clustering (K-Means), Dimensionality Reduction (PCA)
 Reinforcement Learning:
 Learns through rewards and penalties.
 Example: Game AI, Robotics
3. Common Algorithms
 Linear Regression: Predicts continuous value.
 Logistic Regression: Classification problem.
 Decision Trees: Tree-like model of decisions.
 k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN): Classifies based on proximity.
 Support Vector Machine (SVM): Finds optimal boundary.
 Naive Bayes: Probabilistic classifier.
 K-Means Clustering: Unsupervised grouping of data.
4. Model Evaluation Metrics
 Accuracy: Correct predictions / Total predictions.
 Precision: True Positives / (True Positives + False Positives).
 Recall: True Positives / (True Positives + False Negatives).
 F1 Score: Harmonic mean of precision and recall.
 Confusion Matrix: Table layout for prediction outcomes.
5. Overfitting vs Underfitting
 Overfitting: Model performs well on training data but poorly on new data.
 Underfitting: Model performs poorly on both training and test data.
 Solutions: Cross-validation, Regularization
6. Tools and Libraries
 Python Libraries: Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib
 Advanced Tools: TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch
7. Applications of Machine Learning
 Email Spam Filtering
 Image and Speech Recognition
 Predictive Analytics
 Medical Diagnosis
 Recommendation Systems (e.g., Netflix, Amazon)
Summary
 Machine Learning is revolutionizing industries.
 Learning algorithms and data preparation are key to success.
 Real-world ML projects require understanding of data, model selection, and evaluation.
