Machine Learning : What is it really?

 Machine Learning: What is it really?


Well, Machine Learning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence that evolved from Pattern Recognition and Computational Learning theory. Arthur Lee Samuel defines Machine Learning as a Field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

So, basically, the field of Computer Science and Artificial intelligence that “learns” from data without human intervention.

But this view has a flaw. As a result of this perception, whenever the word Machine Learning is thrown around, people usually think of “A.I.” and “Neural Networks that can mimic Human brains ( as of now, that is not possible)”, Self Driving Cars and what not. But Machine Learning is far beyond that. Below we uncover some expected and some generally not expected facets of Modern Computing where Machine Learning is in action.

Machine Learning: The Expected

We’ll start with some places where you might expect Machine Learning to play a part.

  1. Speech Recognition (Natural Language Processing in more technical terms):   You talk to Cortana on Windows Devices. But how does it understand what you say? Along comes the field of Natural Language Processing, or N.L.P. It deals with the study of interactions between Machines and Humans, via Linguistics. Guess what is at the heart of NLP: Machine Learning Algorithms and Systems ( Hidden Markov Models being one).
  1. Computer Vision: Computer Vision is a subfield of AI which deals with a Machine’s (probable) interpretation of the Real World. In other words, all Facial Recognition, Pattern Recognition, Character Recognition Techniques belong to Computer Vision. And Machine Learning once again, with its wide range of Algorithms, is at the heart of Computer Vision.
  1. Google’s Self Driving Car: Well. You can imagine what drives it actually. More Machine Learning goodness.

But these were expected applications. Even a naysayer would have a good insight about these feats of technology being brought to life by some “mystical (and extremely hard) mind crunching Computer wizardry”.

Difference between loc() and iloc() in Pandas DataFrame

  Difference between loc() and iloc() in Pandas DataFrame Pandas library of python is very useful for the manipulation of mathematical data and is widely used in the field of machine learning. It comprises many methods for its proper functioning.  loc()  and  iloc()  are one of those methods. These are used in slicing data from the Pandas DataFrame. They help in the convenient selection of data from the DataFrame. They are used in filtering the data according to some conditions. The working of both of these methods is explained in the sample dataset of cars. loc()  :  loc()  is label-based data selecting method which means that we have to pass the name of the row or column which we want to select. This method includes the last element of the range passed in it, unlike  iloc() .  loc()   can accept the boolean data unlike  iloc()  .  iloc() :  iloc( )  is an indexed-based selecting method which means that we ...

Introduction to Transfer Learning

  Introduction to Transfer Learning We, humans, are very perfect in applying the transfer of knowledge between tasks. This means that whenever we encounter a new problem or a task, we recognize it and apply our relevant knowledge from our previous learning experiences. This makes our work easy and fast to finish. For instance, if you know how to ride a bicycle and if you are asked to ride a motorbike which you have never done before. In such a case, our experience with a bicycle will come into play and handle tasks like balancing the bike, steering, etc. This will make things easier compared to a complete beginner. Such leanings are very useful in real life as it makes us more perfect and allows us to earn more experience. Following the same approach, a term was introduced  Transfer Learning  in the field of machine learning. This approach involves the use of knowledge that was learned in some task, and apply it to solve the problem in the related target task. While most ...
