Welcome to the Machine Learning Basics section of our community documentation! This guide provides foundational knowledge for beginners exploring AI and ML. Let's dive in!


🔍 What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that enables systems to learn patterns from data without explicit programming.

Key concepts include:

  • Training Data: The dataset used to teach the model.
  • Model: A mathematical representation of patterns.
  • Inference: Applying the trained model to new data.

📊 Types of Machine Learning

  1. Supervised Learning

    • Uses labeled data (e.g., classification, regression).
    • Example: Predicting house prices based on features.

  2. Unsupervised Learning

    • Works with unlabeled data (e.g., clustering, dimensionality reduction).
    • Example: Customer segmentation.

  3. Reinforcement Learning

    • Learns by interacting with an environment through rewards/punishments.
    • Example: Training robots for navigation.
