What is Machine Learning ?

→ Field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

By Arthur Samuel (1959)

Machine Learning Algorithms

• Supervised Learning ( used most in real world applications) (Course 1 & 2)
• Unsupervised Learning ( Course 3)
• Recommender Systems
• Reinforcement Learning

Practical Advice for applying learning algorithms.

Supervised Machine Learning (SML)

• Also known as Supervised Learning.

→ It refers to algorithms that learn from input to output mappings.

The key characteristics of SML is we give examples to algorithm to learn from.

⇒ Learns from being given “right answers”.
