-Stanford University CS 229 (Machine Learning)
What is Machine Learning?
Inference and learning with massive datasets using intelligent machines.
-UBC CSPC340 (Machine Learning & Data Mining)
A branch of artificial intelligence that relies heavily on probability statistics uses data to make predictions and learn.

Get some insights from a process by which computer scientists direct a program to pore through a huge database.

The Restaurant Case

John
Jack used to come a lot, why he hasn't showed up for a while?
Why Bill's bar is more popular?
Is Roy a slow server?

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?

Hey John, let's talk.
Factor 1, 34, 42443, 254432 & 4342343214 are the most significant factors. Align your strategies in those factors with the best restaurants. You can beat Bill's Bar in a week.

Data Mining


Machine Learning VS Data Mining
Data Mining discovers previously unknown patterns and knowledge
Machine Learning is used to reproduce known
patterns and knowledge, automatically apply that to other data, and then automatically those results to decision making and actions
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
