Topics in Machine Learning

1

1. Machine Learning: Core Idea and Types

  • Arthur Samuel coined the term Machine Learning in 1959 while at IBM.
  • Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence.
  • ML systems learn from data instead of following only fixed instructions.
2

2. Deep Learning and Artificial Neural Networks

  • Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning.
  • Deep learning uses artificial neural networks and multiple hidden layers.
  • Artificial Neural Networks are inspired by the human brain.
3

3. Convolution, Kernels, and CNN

  • Convolution is an element-wise multiplication of image arrays and a kernel, followed by a sum.
  • A kernel is a matrix of weights used to extract relevant features from the input.
  • The dimensionality of the kernel gives convolution its name.
4

4. CNN Layers and Their Functions

  • A CNN usually has four main layers: convolution, ReLU, pooling, and fully connected layer.
  • The convolution layer is the first layer of a CNN.
  • The ReLU layer removes negative values by setting them to zero.
