Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Machine Learning: Core Idea and Types, 2. Deep Learning and Artificial Neural Networks, 3. Convolution, Kernels, and CNN.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 70 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Machine Learning after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence.
  • It helps systems learn from data without explicit programming.
  • Models may be predictive, descriptive, or both.
  • Supervised learning uses labelled data.
  • Unsupervised learning finds patterns in unlabeled data.
  • Reinforcement learning uses rewards and penalties.
  • Training uses data to find patterns.
  • A model is the result of training.
  • Testing and validation help measure performance on unseen data.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Machine Learning and Deep Learning are the same thing.

The input layer of an artificial neural network performs computation.

The neuron output is the weighted sum only, and the activation function is optional.
