  1. Let’s Start Basics of Machine Learning! I’m, Charmi Chokshi An

    ML Engineer at Shipmnts.com and a passionate Tech-speaker. A Critical Thinker and your mentor of the day! Let’s connect: @CharmiChokshi
  2. • Supervised Learning deals with prediction of values based on

    given combinations of data values given beforehand. • ML systems learn how to combine input to produce useful predictions on never-before-seen data • It is like learning with a teacher. • Types - Regression, Classification
  3. • Unsupervised Learning deals with clustering values or forming groups

    of values. • One aims to infer patterns from the data rather than predicting values. • It is like learning on your own. • Types - Clustering, Dimensionality Reduction
  4. • It is a reward based training approach in which

    the model interacts with a dynamic environment and in turn collects rewards according to the action chosen. • Widely used in automating games. • Example- Shortest path finder
  5. Features: A feature is an input variable. A simple machine

    learning project might use a single feature, while a more sophisticated machine learning project could use millions of features, specified as {x1,x2,...xN}. What are the Features in spam detector example? • words in the email text • sender's address • time of day the email was sent • email contains the phrase "one weird trick." Labels: A label is the thing we're predicting denoted by y. The label could be the future price of wheat, the kind of animal shown in a picture etc.
  6. Examples: An example is a particular instance of data, x.

    It can be of two types- • Labelled Example: In this case label y for corresponding x is given alongside x. • Unlabelled Example: In this case only features x are given, label y is missing Models: A model defines the relationship between features and label. For example, a spam detection model might associate certain features strongly with "spam". Let's highlight two phases of a model's life: • Training means creating or learning the model. That is, you show the model labeled examples and enable the model to gradually learn the relationships between features and label. • Inference/ Testing means applying the trained model to unlabeled examples. That is, you use the trained model to make useful predictions.
  7. A regression model predicts continuous values. For example, regression models

    make predictions that answer questions like the following: • What is the value of a house in California? • What is the probability that a user will click on this ad? A classification model predicts discrete values. For example, classification models make predictions that answer questions like the following: • Is a given email message spam or not spam? • Is this an image of a dog, a cat, or a hamster?
  8. By the end of the session, you will have run
