Introduction to Machine Learning MSc Course

This document provides an introduction and overview of machine learning. It begins with definitions of machine learning, including that machine learning is programming computers to optimize performance using example data or past experience. The document then outlines the course, covering introductions to machine learning applications, problem solving techniques, knowledge representation, and statistical and neural network reasoning. Examples of applications are also given, such as game playing, medical diagnosis, and natural language processing. The document encourages exploring machine learning topics further.

Lecture Outline

What is Machine Learning?

Fundamentals, Artificial Intelligence

Machinelearningis programming computers to optimize a performance criterion using example data or past experience.

What is Machine Learning?

There is no need to learn to calculate payroll, simple interest, percentage, etc. Learningis used when: Human expertise does not exist (navigating on Mars), Humans are unable to explain their expertise (speech recognition) Solution changes in time (routing on a computer network) Solution needs to be adapted to particular cases (user biometrics)

Learning : to gain knowledge or understanding or skill by study, experience and training or modification of behavior by experience

What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learns when it changes structure, program or data based on its inputs or response to external information in a way that improves future performance. For Ex.: Speech Recognition Systems

Artificial Intelligence : Science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs
