The basic principle of machine learning is to ‘allow computers to learn from data without explicit programming, by using algorithms to Identity patterns and make predictions based on that data, enabling them to improve their performance over time on similar tasks without being explicitly instructed how to do so: five applications of machine learning include: image recognition, spam filtering, recommendation systems, fraud detection, and medical diagnosis.» Explanation: Learning from data: The core ideas that @ machine learning model analyzes large datasets to identify patterns and relationships. allowing it to make predictor decisions on new data without explicit rules being programmedin. ‘Types of Machine Learning: + Supervised Learning: Models are trained on labeled data, where the correct ans provided for each input, allowing the model to learn the mapping between input and cutput. 2 + Unsupervised Learning: Models analyze unlabeled data to find patterns and groupings within the data. + Reinforcement Learning: Models earn by interacting with an environment, receiving rewards for postive actions and penalties for negative actions. @ Five applications of machine learning: Image Recogni Identifying objects within an image, like facial recognition in photo albums or classifying products in aretail setting. Spam Filtering: ‘Automatically identifying emails as spam based on patterns in the content and sender information. Recommendation Systems: Suggesting products, movies, or other items to users, based on their past behavior and preferences. @ Fraud Detection: Identifying fraudulent transactions in financial systems by analyzing patterns in user behavior and data. @ Medical Diagnosis: Analyzing medical images (like X-rays) or patient data to assist doctors in diagnosing diseases. ¢ Top Machine Learning challenges Data quality and quantity ‘The performance of Machine Learning models relies on the quality and the volume of the data they're trained on. Inadequate. Inaccurate or biased data can lead to models ‘that perform poorly or produce biased outputs, Lack of training data In unsupervised machine Machine Learning, ‘the lack of labelled data can make it challenging to discover underlying patterns and structures in the data, Insufficient training data can prevent models from learning effectively, leading to poor generalisation on new, unseen data, Poor data quality Issues such as missing values, inconsistent formats and noisy data can lead to inaccurate models that produce unreliable outputs, Irrelevant features Including features that don't contribute to the predictive power of the model can reduce its performance, confuse the learning process and increase training time, Model explainability and transparency Many advanced machine learning models. particularly Deep Learning models, are often seen as “black boxes” due to their lack of transparency. This makes it difficult to understand how decisions are made. ‘Computational costs ‘Training sophisticated Machine Learning models requires substantial computational resources, which can be costly and energy- intensive. Generalisation vs overfitting ‘Achieving a balance where models, generalise well to new data rather than memorising their training data is a critical challenge. Ethical and social implications The deployment of Machine Learning systems in critical areas raises concerns about issues such as algorithmic bias, privacy and the potential for job displacement. Security vulnerabilities Machine Learning systems can be attacked in several ways, including data poisoning and model stealing. Talent shortage The complexity of the field and the rapid pace of technological development have led to a shortage of qualified professionals who can develop, deploy and maintain Machine Learning systems. Bayesian learning methods are characterized by their ability to incorporate prior knowledge, ‘update beliefs based on new data using Bayes’ theorem, provide probabilistic predictions. and offer flexibility in handing uncertainty. making them particulary useful when dealing with incomplete information; key features include: Prior Knowledge Integration: Bayesian method alow vers ta incorpors new dotais observe. providing 3 mere informed Starting point forlearning. @ Posterior Probability Calculation: posterior probabty cistron” which represents ‘the updated beet about parameters or hypotheses ater considering the cbserved ata essential ‘evidence, Probabilistic Predictions: prise single-point prediction, Bayesian methods offer a probatitydstbuton ver possole ‘outcomes, providing ameasure of uncertainty ‘assoclatedwith the prediction.

Important considerations: Initialization: The EM algorithm can get stuckinlocal optima, so choosing a good intial guess for the parameters is Convergence: The algorithm iterates until the change inthe Iketbood funetion becomes neglgibe, indicating convergence. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) isa statistical technique = ‘used to reduce the dimen- sionalty oflarge datasets by transforming a set of correl- ‘ated variables into a smaller set of uncorrel- ‘ated variables, called ‘principal components" which capture the most significant variance within the data, allowing for easier visualizar ton and analysis while preserving the most {important information within the dataset.» Key points about PCA: Dimentionality reduction: The main goal of PCAs to reduce the number of varobies in detaet while retaining os much information ae possible, makng'tparcuarly uses for complex datasets with many features. @ Variance maximization: PCA identities new variable (principal components) that expan the maximum variance nthe ot, smasning they capture the most significant pattems ‘nd relatonshipe within the dotaset near combinations: Exch principal components.» inear combination of the orignal variables, calculated by fincing the Eigenvalues and elgenvectors: ‘plained by each principal component while eigenvectors represent the etection of the How PCA works: 1.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is @ ‘machine learning technique that teaches software how to make decisions to achieve a =H goal. It uses a reward-and- punishment system to train software to learn from its mistakes and improve its performance over time. # How does it work? # Trial and error: RL mimics how humans learn by trial and error. Reward and punishment: RL rewards actions that help achieve a goal and punishes actions that hinder it. Feedback: RL learns from the feedback itreceives after each action. Delayed gratification: RL can consider the long- term consequences of an action, even if it means making a short-term sacrifice. What can it be used for? & Robotics: RL can be used to teach robots how to perform specific tasks in industrial settings. Self-driving cars: RL can be used to teach self- driving cars how to navigate their environment. Video games: RL can be used to teach software how to control a video game.
