Episode Synopsis
Try a walking desk to stay healthy while you study or work! Full notes at ocdevel.com/mlg/12 Topics Shallow vs. Deep Learning: Shallow learning can often solve problems more efficiently in time and resources compared to deep learning. Supervised Learning: Key algorithms include linear regression, logistic regression, neural networks, and K Nearest Neighbors (KNN). KNN is unique as it is instance-based and simple, categorizing new data based on proximity to known data points. Unsupervised Learning: Clustering (K Means): Differentiates data points into clusters with no predefined labels, essential for discovering data structures without explicit supervision. Association Rule Learning: Example includes the a priori algorithm, which deduces the likelihood of item co-occurrence, commonly used in market basket analysis. Dimensionality Reduction (PCA): Condenses features into simplified forms, maintaining the essence of the data, crucial for managing high-dimensional datasets. Decision Trees: Utilized for both classification and regression, decision trees offer a visible, understandable model structure. Variants like Random Forests and Gradient Boosting Trees increase performance and reduce overfitting risks. Links Focus material: Andrew Ng Week 8. A Tour of Machine Learning Algorithms for a comprehensive overview. Scikit Learn image: A decision tree infographic for selecting the appropriate algorithm based on your specific needs.
