Basic Questions

1. What is Machine Learning?

- Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that involves training algorithms to learn patterns from data
and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed.

2. How would you explain Machine Learning to someone with no technical background?

- Machine Learning is like teaching a computer to learn from examples. Instead of giving it strict rules, you show it lots of data,
and it figures out patterns on its own to make decisions or predictions.

3. What are the three main types of Machine Learning?

- The three main types are:

1. Supervised Learning

2. Unsupervised Learning

3. Reinforcement Learning

Supervised Learning

4. What is Supervised Learning?

- Supervised Learning is a type of ML where the algorithm is trained on labeled data (input-output pairs). The goal is to learn a
mapping from inputs to outputs.

5. Can you give an example of a supervised learning algorithm?

- Examples include:

- Linear Regression (for regression tasks)

- Logistic Regression (for classification tasks)

- Decision Trees

- Support Vector Machines (SVM)

6. What is the difference between classification and regression?

- Classification: Predicts discrete labels.

- Regression: Predicts continuous values.


7. Name a few real-world applications of supervised learning.

- Spam detection in emails.

- Predicting house prices.

- Image classification.

- Medical diagnosis.

Unsupervised Learning

8. What is Unsupervised Learning?

- Unsupervised Learning is a type of ML where the algorithm is trained on unlabeled data. The goal is to find hidden patterns
or structures in the data.

9. Can you give an example of an unsupervised learning algorithm?

- Examples include:

- K-Means Clustering

- Hierarchical Clustering

- Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

- Apriori Algorithm (for association rule mining)

10. What is clustering in unsupervised learning?

- Clustering is the process of grouping similar data points together based on their features. For example, grouping customers
with similar purchasing behavior.

11. Name a few real-world applications of unsupervised learning.

- Customer segmentation in marketing.

- Anomaly detection (e.g., fraud detection).

- Document clustering (e.g., organizing news articles by topic).

- Recommendation systems (e.g., suggesting products based on user behavior).

Reinforcement Learning

12. What is Reinforcement Learning?


- Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a type of ML where an agent learns to make decisions by performing actions in an
environment to maximize cumulative rewards.

13. How is Reinforcement Learning different from supervised and unsupervised learning?

- Supervised Learning: Uses labeled data to learn input-output mappings.

- Unsupervised Learning: Finds patterns in unlabeled data.

- Reinforcement Learning: Learns by interacting with an environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or
penalties.

14. What are rewards and penalties in reinforcement learning?

- Rewards: Positive feedback given to the agent for desirable actions.

- Penalties: Negative feedback given to the agent for undesirable actions.

15. Can you give an example of where reinforcement learning is used in real life?

- Training self-driving cars to navigate roads.

- Game-playing AI (e.g., AlphaGo, chess engines).

- Robotics (e.g., teaching robots to perform tasks).

- Personalized recommendations (e.g., optimizing ad placements).
