Machine Learning Basics

Machine Learning is the art of learning insights from data, using a set of algorithms and stats. It is a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and has evolved considerably in the past decade.

Types of ML

There are three main classes of machine learning algorithms:

1. Supervised Learning

   • Labelled Data
   • Direct Feedback
   • Prediction of outcome/ failure

2. Unsupervised Learning

   • Unlabelled Data
   • No feedback
   • Finding patterns in the data

3. Reinforcement Learning

   • An agent who learns
   • Reward System
   • Learn to accomplish series of actions
