ML:Introduction

Introduction

Machine Learning

  • The field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

  • A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.

  • Supervised Learning

  • Unsupervised Learning
  • Reinforcement learning
  • Recommender systems

根据训练数据是否有标记信息,可大致把学习任务分成两类,监督学习和无监督学习。前者主要包括分类和回归。后者主要有聚类。

Supervised Learning

  • classification
  • regression

Unsupervised Learning

  • clustering 聚类

需要注意的是,机器学习的目标是学得的模型可以很好的适用“新样本”,而不仅是在训练样本上工作良好,即使对于聚类这样的无监督学习任务,也希望他能适用于新样本,称为 泛化 generaliazation
