Machine Learning Fundamentals: Core Concepts

Dive into the foundational pillars that power modern machine learning. Understanding these concepts is key to building intelligent systems.

Essential Concepts

Supervised Learning

Learn from labeled data. This paradigm is used for tasks like classification (e.g., spam detection) and regression (e.g., predicting house prices).

Unsupervised Learning

Discover patterns and structure in unlabeled data. Key applications include clustering (e.g., customer segmentation) and dimensionality reduction.

Reinforcement Learning

Agents learn to make decisions by performing actions in an environment to maximize a reward. Think of training robots or game AI.

Feature Engineering

The process of transforming raw data into features that better represent the underlying problem to the predictive models, leading to improved accuracy.

Model Evaluation

Assessing the performance of a machine learning model. Metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score help determine how well a model generalizes.

Explore →

Overfitting & Underfitting

Understanding and mitigating common issues where a model performs too well on training data (overfitting) or not well enough on new data (underfitting).

Bias-Variance Tradeoff

A fundamental concept explaining the relationship between a model's error and its complexity, guiding the choice of models that generalize well.
