Machine Learning Basics 🤖

Welcome to the foundational guide for understanding Machine Learning! This resource is designed to help you grasp key concepts, algorithms, and applications in a clear and concise manner. Let's dive in!

What is Machine Learning? 📚

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that enables systems to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention.

Key characteristics:

• Data-driven decision making
• Adaptive learning from experience
• Automation of complex tasks

Core Concepts 🔍

Here are the essential pillars of Machine Learning:

1. Supervised Learning 📊

   • Uses labeled data to train models
   • Examples: Regression, Classification
   

2. Unsupervised Learning 🧠

   • Works with unlabeled data to find hidden patterns
   • Examples: Clustering, Dimensionality Reduction
   

3. Reinforcement Learning 🔄

   • Learns by interacting with an environment through trial and error
   • Applications: Game playing, Robotics
