What is Machine Learning?

The Restaurant Case

John
Jack used to come a lot. I wonder why he doesn't come any more.
Why is the other restaurant more popular?
Is Roy a slow server?

Busiest hour of the week
Data Driven Decision

John
People like the happy hour in Bill's Bar so much that the keep going there even when it's not happy hour.
Roy is a great server, he sells more food, and that's why it seems like he is slow.
The Honey BBQ Rib is the best seller, and it has 10% chance of sold out during weekend. So get enough stock before weekend.
But,is that good enough?

Data Mining


Machine Learning VS Data Mining
Machine learning is a science that involves development of self-learning algorithms. These algorithms are more generic in nature that it can be applied to various domain related problems
Data mining is a practice of applying algorithms (mostly Machine learning algorithms) with the data available from domain to solve domain related problems
Machine Learning Algorithms
Supervised Learning
Unsupervised Learning



Reinforced Learning
Supervised Learning


Algorithms are trained using labelled examples
Historical data predicts likely future events
Example : Credit Card Transactions
Unsupervised Learning


No Historical Labels
Goal is to explore data and find some structure within
Example : Customer Segmentation
Reinforced Learning

Learn by trial and error
Agent, Environment, Action
Example: Robotics, Gaming, Navigation
