Welcome to the Machine Learning Tutorial! This guide will walk you through the essentials of building your first machine learning model using Python. Let's dive in! 🧠

📚 What is Machine Learning?

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention.

Machine_Learning_Overview

🔍 Key Concepts

  • Supervised Learning: Training models with labeled data (e.g., classification, regression)
  • Unsupervised Learning: Discovering hidden patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., clustering)
  • Reinforcement Learning: Learning through reward-based feedback

🧰 Tools & Libraries

To get started, you'll need:

  1. Python (installed)
  2. NumPy for numerical computations
  3. Scikit-learn for implementing algorithms
  4. Pandas for data manipulation

Install them with: 

pip install numpy pandas scikit-learn

🛠️ Hands-On Example

Let's build a simple linear regression model to predict house prices.

📊 Step 1: Import Libraries

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

📈 Step 2: Load Data

data = pd.read_csv("/path/to/housing_data.csv")
X = data[['sqft', 'bedrooms']]  # Features
y = data['price']               # Target

🧪 Step 3: Train Model

model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(X, y)

📊 Step 4: Predict & Evaluate

predictions = model.predict(X)
print("R² Score:", model.score(X, y))
