What is Machine Learning

1.Google Search works so well ---ML Software of Google figured out how to  rank web pages

2.Facebook or Apple's photo Application--recognizes your friends in your pics

3.Email-Spam Filter--your computer has learned to distinguish spam and non spam email

Definition: ML is the science of getting computers to learn,without being explicitly programmed

Types of ML
1)Supervised ML
2)Unsupervised ML

Supervised ML : uses a known dataset (called the training dataset) to make predictions
The training dataset includes input data and response values. From it, the supervised learning algorithm seeks to build a model that can make predictions of the response values for a new dataset
1)Regression: Predicting continuous value output
Ex: Predicting price of house for given price VS Area data set


2)Classification: for categorical response values, where the data can be separated into specific “classes”

ex: Classifying Benign or Malignant tumor
