Advanced Machine Learning Techniques

Chapter 1: Introduction to Machine Learning

Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on building systems that

learn from and make decisions based on data. Unlike traditional software systems, which rely on

explicit instructions, ML models improve their performance over time by identifying patterns and

making data-driven decisions.

Chapter 2: Supervised Learning

Supervised learning is a type of ML where the model is trained on labeled data. This means that

the input data is paired with the correct output. The model learns to map inputs to the desired output

based on this labeled data. Examples include classification and regression tasks.

Chapter 3: Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised learning deals with unlabeled data. The goal is to find hidden patterns or intrinsic

structures in the input data. Clustering and association are common unsupervised learning

techniques.

Chapter 4: Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning involves training an agent to make a sequence of decisions by rewarding

desired behaviors and/or punishing undesired ones. This type of learning is used in various

applications, including game playing, robotics, and self-driving cars.
