Machine Learning Algorithms

Code 843, Class 11. Machine learning lets computers learn from data. Here we meet the main kinds of learning.

ML

learns from data

3

kinds of learning

What this unit is about

Machine Learning (ML) is a part of AI where the computer learns patterns from data instead of being told every rule.

1. Supervised learning

In supervised learning the data has labels (right answers). The model learns to predict the label, for example marking an email as spam or not spam.

2. Unsupervised learning

In unsupervised learning the data has no labels. The model finds groups on its own, called clustering, for example grouping similar customers.

3. Classification and regression

Classification predicts a category (spam or not spam). Regression predicts a number (the price of a house). Both are types of supervised learning.

Practice set A, multiple choice

1. ML that learns from labelled data is …

supervised learning.

2. ML that finds groups without labels is …

unsupervised learning.

3. Predicting a category is …

classification.

4. Predicting a number is …

regression.

Practice set B, short answer

1. What is machine learning?

A part of AI where the computer learns patterns from data.

2. What is the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning?

Supervised uses labelled data; unsupervised has no labels and finds groups.

3. What is the difference between classification and regression?

Classification predicts a category; regression predicts a number.

Quick summary

Machine learning is a part of AI where the computer learns patterns from data. Supervised learning uses labelled data to predict the label; unsupervised learning has no labels and finds groups (clustering). Classification predicts a category, and regression predicts a number, both types of supervised learning.
