Introduction to Machine Learning - Class Notes
1. What is Machine Learning?
Machine Learning is a field of artificial intelligence that uses statistical techniques to give computer
systems the ability to "learn" from data, without being explicitly programmed.
2. Types of Machine Learning
a. Supervised Learning: The algorithm learns from labeled training data, helps predict outcomes.
b. Unsupervised Learning: The algorithm learns from unlabeled data and finds hidden patterns.
c. Reinforcement Learning: The algorithm learns by interacting with its environment and uses
rewards or punishments as signals for positive and negative behavior.
3. Common Algorithms
