Machine Learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the development of computer programs that can learn from and make decisions based on data. This guide will provide an overview of the fundamentals of machine learning.
Key Concepts
- Supervised Learning: A type of machine learning where a model learns from labeled training data.
- Unsupervised Learning: A type of machine learning where a model learns from unlabeled data.
- Reinforcement Learning: A type of machine learning where a model learns to make decisions by performing actions and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties.
Types of Machine Learning Algorithms
- Linear Regression: Used for predicting a continuous value.
- Logistic Regression: Used for predicting a binary outcome.
- Decision Trees: A type of supervised learning algorithm that can be used for both classification and regression tasks.
- Neural Networks: A type of deep learning algorithm that can be used for complex tasks such as image recognition and natural language processing.
Applications of Machine Learning
Machine learning is used in various industries, including:
- Healthcare: For predicting patient outcomes and diagnosing diseases.
- Finance: For credit scoring and fraud detection.
- Retail: For personalized recommendations and inventory management.
