Introduction to Machine Learning
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers to learn
from data and make decisions without being explicitly programmed. It involves developing
algorithms that can improve automatically through experience.
Types of Machine Learning
1. Supervised Learning - The model is trained on labeled data, meaning that each
training example is paired with an output label.
2. Unsupervised Learning - The model is given data without explicit instructions on
what to do with it and must find patterns or structure on its own.
3. Reinforcement Learning - The model learns by interacting with an environment and
receiving rewards or penalties based on its actions.
Applications of Machine Learning
Healthcare: Disease prediction, personalized medicine
Finance: Fraud detection, algorithmic trading
Retail: Recommendation systems, inventory management
Autonomous Vehicles: Object detection, route optimization
Common Machine Learning Algorithms
Linear Regression
Decision Trees
Random Forests
Neural Networks
Support Vector Machines (SVM)
Machine learning continues to revolutionize industries by enabling data-driven decision-
making and automation.
