Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that focuses on the development of algorithms that can learn from and make predictions or decisions based on data.

Basics of Machine Learning

  1. Supervised Learning: This type of learning involves training a model on a labeled dataset, where the output is already known.

    • Common algorithms: Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests.
  2. Unsupervised Learning: In unsupervised learning, the model is trained on an unlabeled dataset and has to find patterns and relationships in the data.

    • Common algorithms: Clustering, Association Rules, Principal Component Analysis (PCA).
  3. Reinforcement Learning: This type of learning involves an agent that learns to make decisions by performing actions in an environment to achieve a goal.

    • Common algorithms: Q-Learning, Deep Q-Network (DQN), Policy Gradient.

Tools and Libraries

  • Python: The most popular language for machine learning.
  • TensorFlow: An open-source machine learning framework developed by Google Brain.
  • PyTorch: An open-source machine learning library based on the Torch library, widely used for deep learning.
