Machine Learning Algorithms

  • Supervised machine learning algorithms: These are the algorithms that take the learnings from the past data and apply them to the new data made available by making use of labelled examples in order to predict events that will occur in the future.  
  • Unsupervised machine learning algorithms: These are the type of algorithms that are made use of when the information required for the training of the system and the algorithm is either not labeled or has not been classified.  
  • Reinforcement learning: Reinforcement learning is an area of Machine Learning that deals with the taking of suitable steps in order to maximize the outcomes or rewards in particular situations. Reinforcement learning differs from supervised learning in that in Supervised learning, the training data possesses the answer key within it so that the model being trained is trained with the correct answer itself.  

Machine Learning Algorithms can be classified basically into the following 3 types - 

  • Supervised Learning: Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Classification and Regression Trees (CART), Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbours 
  • Unsupervised Learning: Apriori, K-Means, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) 
  • Ensemble Learning: Bagging, Boosting
  • Supervised Learning: Using categorically classified historical data to learn the mapping function from the input variables (X) to the output variable (Y). Examples of such include
    • Linear Regression -  The relationship between the input variables (x) and output variable (y) is expressed as an equation of the form y = a + bx
    • Logistic Regression - Logistic Regression is just like the linear regression model; the only difference is the outcome of the regression is probabilistic, rather than exact values. A Transformation function is then applied to force this probability into a binary classification. 
    • CART - Classification and Regression Trees (CART) is an implementation of Decision Trees. This algorithm charts the possibility of each outcome and predicts the result on the basis of defined nodes and branches. At each non-terminal node is a single input variable (x). The splitting point on that node depicts the various outcomes that can happen to that variable, and the following leaf node represents the output variable (y).
    • Naïve Bayes - This algorithm predicts the possibility of an outcome happening, given the basic value of some other variable. It works exactly on the principle of the Bayes theorem, and is considered “naive” as it makes the assumption that all variables are independent in nature. 
    • K-Nearest Neighbours - This algorithm charts the entire data set given, and after assigning a pre-defined value of “k” to find out the outcome for a given value of the variable, it collects “k nearest instances” of the value in the dataset and then either averages them to produce the output (for a regression model) or finds the mode of these averages (for most frequent class problem). 
  • Unsupervised Learning: In these type of problems, only the input variables are given and not the output ones. Thus, the underlying structure of the given data sets is analysed to reveal possible associations and clusters. Examples of such algorithms include the following -
    • Apriori -  This algorithm is used in various databases containing transactions to identify frequent associations or instances of two items occurring together, then such associations are used to predict further relationships.
    • K-Means -  This algorithm groups similar data into clusters, and them associates each data point in the cluster to an “assumed” centroid of the cluster. By performing iterations of the steps to ensure the distance between the data point and the centroid is the closest, the real centroid is arrived for each cluster.
    • PCA -  Principal Component Analysis (PCA) makes the data space easier to visualize, by reducing the number of variables. It does this by mapping the maximum variances of each point onto a new coordinate system, with axes corresponding to the principal components chosen. The basic principle of orthogonality ensures that each pair of components is unrelated to each other.
  • Ensemble Learning : Groups or ensembles of learners are more likely to perform better than singular learners. By building on this premise, these type of algorithms combine the results of each learner and then analyse them as a whole to obtain a fairly accurate representation of the actual outcome. Examples of such algorithms include the following 
    • Bagging - This algorithm is used to generate multiple datasets (based on the original one), then model the same algorithm on each to produce different outputs, which can then be compiled and performed upon to obtain the real outcome.
    • Boosting - This algorithm is similar to the above one, but it works sequentially instead of the parallel nature of bagging. Thus, each new dataset is created by learning from the previous one’s errors and miscalculations.

Machine Learning with Python

Although Python is not a necessity for machine learning, it will certainly make your life easier when dealing with Machine Learning concepts and their applications. Python for Machine Learning has several advantages. 

Python is one of the most popular languages for the purpose of Machine Learning. At KnowledgeHut, we have curated some of the best resources and videos from all over the internet. Most resources that are included as a part of the advanced machine learning with python course at KnowledgeHut are drawn from some of the top-notch Python conferences such as PyCon as well as PyData etc, created by some of the world’s top Data Scientists, making it one of the best machine learning with python course around the world.

Much of the resources that are offered to learners at KnowledgeHut are hands-on tutorials. These tutorials are all accompanied by extensive code to help participants implement the algorithm or the program taught in that particular tutorial. Real world data sets are also included along with the said tutorials offered by KnowledgeHut.  

Thanks to the large and diverse open source community of Python and its libraries, there are some very useful libraries as below:

  • Scikit-learn: Primarily for data mining, data analysis and in data science as well.
  • Numpy: Useful due to its high performance when dealing with N-dimensional arrays.
  • Pandas: Useful for high-level data structures and incredibly useful for data extraction and preparation.
  • Matplotlib: In almost every ML problem, we need to plot a graph for better data representation, matplotlib helps in the plotting of graph in 2D.
  • TensorFlow: If you are using deep learning in your project then this library, created by Google, is the go-to library as it uses multi-layered nodes which allow us to quickly train, setup and deploy artificial neural networks.

The following are some tips to help you learn basic Python skills:

  1. Consistency is Key: Code every day. Consistency is very important when you are learning a new programming language. Commit to it and code every day. While it may be hard to believe, it is a fact that muscle memory plays a big role in programming. It may seem like a daunting task at first- but do not give up. Start small with coding for 25 minutes each day and progressively increase your efforts from there on out.
  2. Write it out: As you move further in your journey as programmer, there will be moments when you wonder if you should have taken notes from the beginning. Let us tell you-you should! Several studies have proven over the past several years that writing down a particular thing with your own hands, is the key to long term retention of the concept. This tip is especially beneficial for those programmers who are learning Python with the aim of becoming full time developers. Another benefit of writing down stuff by hand is that it helps you plan out your code on paper before you move to actually implementing it on your computer, where visualisation of your code is an issue at the beginning of your coding journey.
  3. Go interactive!: The interactive Python shell is one of the best learning tools, irrespective of whether you are writing code for the first time, learning about Python data structures such as dictionaries, list, strings etc or debugging an application. In order to initialize the Python shell, simply open your terminal and type in Python or Python3 (as the case may be) into the command line and hit Enter.
  4. Assume the role of a Bug Bounty Hunter: It is inevitable that you will run into bugs. The best way to pick up basic Python programming skills is to sit down and solve the bugs on your own. Do not let the bugs frustrate you. Instead, take up the challenge as a means of learning Python in the best possible way and take pride in becoming a Bug Bounty Hunter.
  5. Surround yourself with other people who are learning: Coding may seem like a solitary activity, but it actually brings out the best results when it is done in a collaborative manner. It is important for you to surround yourself with other people who are learning Python as well as this not only gives you a boost and keeps you going, but also helps you receive helpful tips and tricks from other, along the way.
  6. Opt for Pair programming: Pair programming in a technique in which two developers work on a particular piece of work/ code together. One programmer acts as the Driver, while the other acts as a Navigator. The driver of the code is the one who is actually writing the code, while the Navigator is the developer who guides the entire process, gives reviews and feedback as well as confirms the correctness of the code while it is being written. Pair Programming not only helps a developer learn mutually from other developers but also exposes him/her to multiple ways of thinking and ideas and gives them a fresh perspective on debugging, problem solving or even on writing the code itself.

SciKit is short for SciPy Toolkit. SciKits are add-on packages for SciPy which are too specialized to be kept in SciPy itself. They are developed and hosted independently from the main SciPy package. One of the most famous SciKit is a scikit-learn package. Below are some of its highlights:

  • It contains efficient and easy-to-use tools for data analysis and data mining.
  • As it has a BSD license, you can use it in your own project as well as for commercial purposes too.
  • It is built upon existing Python libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib.

The common steps involved to complete a Machine learning Project with Python include the following:

  1. Proper definition and structuring of the problem
  2. Preparing the data
  3. Evaluation of algorithms available in order to solve the problem.
  4. Improvisation of the results obtained by application of the chosen algorithm.
  5. Presentation of the results obtained.

Due to its vast open-source community, there are tons of libraries for you to play with, but depending upon their ease in implementation, performance, the open source community and so on, we have compiled a list of Python libraries which are best for machine learning.

  • Scikit-learn: Used majorly for data mining, data analysis and in data science as well.
  • SciPy: Contains packages for Mathematics, engineering, and science (manipulation).
  • Numpy: Provides much more than just efficiency - free and fast vector and matrix operations.
  • Keras: When one thinks Neural network, one goes to get the help of Keras.
  • TensorFlow: It uses multi-layered nodes which allow us to quickly train, setup and deploy artificial neural networks.
  • Pandas: Provides high-level data structures. Significantly helpful while during data extraction and preparation.
  • Matplotlib: It helps in the visualization of data by plotting of graph in 2D.
  • Pytorch: If NLP is our aim, Pytorch is our go-to library. 

No, it does not take 2 to 3 hours for setting up Python and its libraries on the laptop. Depending upon the space available on your disk as well as the speed and version of your operating system, the installation of Python and its libraries on your laptop should not take more than 15 minutes.

Below are some major topics that can help you master Machine Learning with Python Course:

  • Programming skills: You will be coding your algorithm, and use code to prepare your data which is to be injected into the model you coded. It becomes, therefore, essential that you are comfortable with your programming skills.
  • Explore ML: It is recommended that you try to gather as much knowledge from different sources. Try to take online courses or classroom ones that can increase the breadth and width of your knowledge.
  • Data: Data is the most important part of your ML project because it is data upon which we apply our ML magic after all. Learn about different kinds of data, how to clean data, prepare data and work with data to gain insights. Learn about features (engineering) as well.
  • Libraries: This is not the most important part but an important one at least. There are tons of open source and free libraries out there for ML, but it is imperative that we choose and get ourselves acquainted with the libraries which are suitable, reliable, and easy to implement. For eg: pandas, SciPy etc.
  • Deep learning: After you have mastered basic ML stuff, it is time to move up to the advanced part of AI which is Deep learning. Deep learning is, in a way, adding of the brain to your algorithms as it replaces the need of a human expert or engineer to supervise it.
  • Polishing and Implementation: You cannot aim to master ML without implementing it in real life. Keep polishing on your mathematical and statistical skills as these are the ones that will be frequently used throughout your ML journey. Finally try some hands-on assignments from online courses which are available for free and get them checked with an expert to improve on your skills. The most effective way is to participate in competitions like Kaggle etc. 

What is Machine Learning/Intro to ML

The concept of Machine Learning deals with computers and systems taking in a huge amount of data, analyzing it and solving problems through training on that data in order to obtain the best possible outcome for a task or problem. It is a way for humans to be able to solve problems, without having to actually know and understand what the problem really is, as well as why a particular approach to a problem actually works.

  • It's easy and it works: Machines are able to work faster than human brains do and as such, are able to solve problems faster than we ever can. If, for example, there exist a million options, answers or approaches to a problem, a machine is able to systematically work out, resolve and simultaneously evaluate all the options in order to obtain the best possible outcome or result.
  • Being used in a wide range of applications today: Machine Learning has several practical applications in real life. It is the very solution that the world was looking for a variety of problems. Machine learning drives businesses in that it helps them save time and money as well as effort. It is allowing people to get more things done in a more efficient, effective and appropriate manner. Every industry, starting from health care, nursing, transport, customer service to government and financial institutions are benefitting from Machine Learning, which is what makes it an indispensable part of our society as it stands today.

As both machine learning, as well as deep learning are part of the Artificial intelligence domain, their main application is the replacement of decision-making by humans. Some of the popular applications of machine learning and deep learning are:

  1. Medical diagnosis: Cancer cell detection, gene printing etc.
  2. Information retrieval: Search engines including both text as well as image search.
  3. Natural Language processing: Recommendation systems, photo tagging, and sentiment analysis.
  4. Finance: Stock predictions, trading, financial banking decisions.
  5. Computer vision: Real-time facial recognition, augmented reality, self-driving cars.
  6. Customer experience: Chatbots.
  7. Languages: Translations of text as well as images, language recognition of different dialects.

To complete a Machine learning with Python Project with Python:
