Machine Learning Work Flow Learning: Systems that improve performance

Data Gathering through experience. Machine learning is about

Normalization figuring out and optimising the relationships
Numeric Standardization between pairs of variables and using those
Pre-Processing Imputation relationships or rules to predict future behaviour.
Label Encoding Experience: Historical data
Categorical
Dummification What is learnt: Rules, map inputs to certain
Supervised
Model Selection outputs
Unsupervised
Training &
How: From experience and data, optimize rules
Testing and relationships continuously
Evaluation

When to use ML : Computational (Large volumes) & Inferential (human insights are inadequate)

ML vs Regular computing:
 Implement a given logic Vs figure out the logic based on past data and trends
 Rules are already known Vs Rules are discovered
Type of ML

SUPERVISED LEARNING Supervised learning is used when we have knowledge of the expected
output and the features that contribute to that output i.e. the output labels are known.
 learning guided by human observations and feedback with known outcomes
 Labelled data provided in the form of past input and output pairs to teach the model
 Mapping rules between a set of inputs and output/s are learnt
 Needs reliable and unbiased data samples during training to be effective
For Continious data output, a Regression model is used
For Categorical data output, a Classification model is used
Un-Supervised Learning
 no feedback or right outcomes known to the machine in advance (No pre-defined labels)
 enables to discover patterns within data that are previously not known E.g. Clustering & PCA
 Clustering output can be further analysed after intitial groups are discovered
