Welcome to the foundation of machine learning! This guide will help you understand the core concepts and resources to start your journey.
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. 🚀
- 📌 Key Applications: Predictive analytics, image recognition, natural language processing
- 📌 Core Goal: Build models that improve automatically through experience
Fundamental Concepts
Here are the basics you need to know:
- ✅ Supervised Learning: Learning from labeled data (e.g., classification, regression)
- ✅ Unsupervised Learning: Finding hidden patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., clustering, dimensionality reduction)
- ✅ Reinforcement Learning: Learning by interacting with an environment (e.g., Q-learning, policy gradients)
