Machine Learning is the field of study that gives computers ability to learn without being explicitly programmed ~ Arthur Samuel (1959)
Supervised learning is simply learnings of A to B or input to output mappings. Learn from data labeled with the “right answers”.
Supervised learning examples with input to output mappings:
Input | Output | Application |
---|---|---|
Spam? (0/1) | Spam filtering | |
Audio | Text transcript | Speech recognition |
English | Chinese | Machine translation |
Ad, User info | Click? (0/1) | Online advertising |
Image, Radar info | Position of other cars | Self-driving car |
Image of phone | Defect? (0/1) | Visual inspection |
Sequence of words | the next word | Chatbot |
To predict a number from infinitely many possible numbers. It tries to fit a line, curve or any other function Eg., Housing price prediction to predict the price of the house based on area (sq. ft) etc
