Key definitions and concepts in machine learning

Data + Model strategy

  1. Data: experience
  2. Model: a math representation of the relationshio between the input data and the output or prediction

Optimisation

  • finds the input that can give the minimum(or maximum) output value of a real-valued function

Classification and regression

  1. Classification: supervised learning, goal is to predict a categorical label or class or a given input. The model is trained on labeled data, where each input accociated with a known output class
  2. Regression: supervised learning, goal is to predict a continuous numerical output based on one or more input variablesThe model is trained on labeled data, where each input accociated with a known output value
