Welcome to the Machine Learning with Python tutorial! This guide will help you get started with building intelligent systems using Python. 🚀
What is Machine Learning? 🤔
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn patterns from data. Here's a quick breakdown:
- Supervised Learning: Training models with labeled data (e.g., classification, regression)
- Unsupervised Learning: Discovering hidden patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., clustering, dimensionality reduction)
- Reinforcement Learning: Learning through trial-and-error interactions
Getting Started with Python 🐍
Python is a popular choice for machine learning due to its simplicity and powerful libraries. Here are the essentials:
1. Install Required Libraries 📦
pip install numpy pandas scikit-learn matplotlib tensorflow
2. Basic Workflow 🧩
- Data Collection
- Data Preprocessing
- Model Training
- Evaluation & Deployment
Popular Techniques & Examples 📈
Explore these common machine learning approaches:
- Linear Regression: Predicting numerical values
- Decision Trees: Classifying data with splits
- Neural Networks: Building deep learning models
For a hands-on example, try this simple classification task:
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
# Load dataset
data = load_iris()
X, y = data.data, data.target
# Split data
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2)
# Train model
model = RandomForestClassifier()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Evaluate
accuracy = model.score(X_test, y_test)
print(f"Accuracy: {accuracy:.2%}")
