Welcome to the foundational guide on Machine Learning! This tutorial will walk you through the core concepts and techniques that form the basis of modern AI applications.
📌 What is Machine Learning?
Machine Learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn patterns from data without being explicitly programmed. It's like teaching a child to recognize shapes by showing examples rather than instructing them directly.
- Key Idea: Data → Model → Predictions
- Core Goal: Improve accuracy over time through experience
📊 Types of Machine Learning
There are three primary categories:
Supervised Learning
- Uses labeled data (e.g., "Golden_Retriever" vs. "Siamese")
- Examples: Linear Regression, Decision Trees
Unsupervised Learning
- Works with unlabeled data to find hidden patterns
- Examples: Clustering, Dimensionality Reduction
Reinforcement Learning
- Learns by interacting with an environment
- Examples: Game-playing AI, Robotics
🧰 Essential Tools & Libraries
- Python (首选语言 for ML development)
- Scikit-learn (for classical algorithms)
- TensorFlow/PyTorch (for deep learning)
