What is Machine Learning?

According to Arthur Samuel, Machine Learning algorithms enable the


computers to learn from data, and even improve themselves, without
being explicitly programmed.
Traditional programming vs. Machine learning
A few very important terms
• Data/Dataset
• Features/Attributes
• Machine Learning Model
• Training a model
• Testing a model
• Error and Accuracy
Data
• Data is the most important and must-have food for machine learning.
Machine learning without data is nothing but a bare machine with no
soul and no mind.

• ML just consumes data and then learns the relations between


different data rather than understanding the data.

• It can be any fact, text, symbols, images, videos, etc., but in


unprocessed form.
Dataset: Features and samples
Machine Learning Model
• A machine learning model is a program that can find patterns or
make decisions from a previously unseen dataset.
Model training and testing
Error and Accuracy
• Error
• Difference between actual output and predicted output.
• Accuracy
• Percentage of true predictions
