As John Naisbitt said, \u201cWe are drowning in information and starving for knowledge\u201d. Small or big many enterprises, handle a deluge of data. It is hard to manually segregate and analyze this data. Thus, automated, but smart data analysis has become imperative in the regime of Big Data. Call it machine Intelligence<\/strong>, Artificial Intelligence or Cognitive computing, now it has entered the mainstream consciousness. As Machine Learning enters our workplaces, living spaces and lives, people are expecting IT to play an important role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMachine Learning and data Mining are sets of methods designed elegantly for automatically detecting patterns in data. These uncovered patterns can be utilized for predicting future data, or to carry out other kinds of decision making under uncertainty like planning on different ways to collect increasing data\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Machine learning is a proven method of analyzing and collecting data<\/a>, which is carried out by automating analytic model building. Machine Learning uses<\/strong> specifically designed algorithms that iteratively learn from data, thereby allowing computers to find hidden insights without the need for explicit programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Machine Learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Machine learning is divided into three major approaches ‘Predictive or Supervised Learning’, ‘Descriptive or Unsupervised Learning’<\/em> and ‘Reinforcement Learning’.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervised learning has a motive to learn the mapping from given inputs. Unsupervised learning is helpful in finding interesting patterns in the data. Whereas, Reinforcement learning is useful to understand how to act or behave upon receiving an occasional signal or punishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervised Learning Approach:<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The goal of predictive or supervised learning is to let the computer learn the classification system we created. Moreover, it seems that classification learning is more appropriate where deducing a classification is useful and at the same time, classification is to determine. Remember, the probability of inputs is often left undefined by supervised learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsupervised Learning Approach:<\/u><\/strong>  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Compared to a supervised learning approach, the unsupervised learning approach is much harder. The goal of Descriptive Machine Learning<\/strong> is to get the computer to learn how doing something when we are not around to tell how to do it. Two major attributes used in the unsupervised learning approach. First, teaching the agent by giving some sort of reward system to facilitate success without offering any explicit categorization. Second is called ‘Clustering’, wherein the motive is not related to maximizing any utility function, but simply to find similarities in the training data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reinforcement Learning Approach:<\/u><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is seldom used in the machine-learning paradigm. Even so, Reinforcement learning is inspired to maximize the performance of a process by letting computers and agents automatically determine specific behavior in a given context. More often, reinforcement signals in the form of simple reward feedback’s are used for agents to learn their behavior. In the reinforcement learning approach, the behavior is learned from the typical environment, finally, or is adapted to a change in time and environment. RLAIF<\/a> and RLHF<\/a> are becoming increasingly common, where AI and human guidance work together to improve model performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\r\n

Three Major Examples Where Machine Learning is Successfully Used<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Email Spam Filtering:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

\n\n\n\n

\"machine-learning-benefits\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\r\n

Supervised Machine Learning<\/strong> approach learns the features of spam emails by utilizing Naive Bayes Classifier, Multilayer Perceptron, and C 4.5 Decision Tree Classifier. The model is based on rules and the rules are framed by analyzing the mail header information, keyword matching and the body of the message. Additionally, it uses a score-based system wherein a relative score is assigned to each rule.<\/p>\r\n

Face Recognition:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

\"machine-learning-face-recognition-technology\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\r\n

Given an arbitrary image, the motive behind face detection and recognition is to automatically detect and locate a human face, if it happens to be present in the given video or image.<\/p>\r\n

\n\n\n\n<\/p>\r\n

In general, face detection and recognition are a major problem due to numerous types and n number of faces each having a different color, texture, size, etc. Face being a non-rigid object, the job is further complicated with each change in its appearance and factors such as lighting, environment, transitions, and scales.<\/p>\r\n

\n\n\n\n<\/p>\r\n

Conclusion<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

\n\n\n\n

The modern concept of Machine Learning has incorporated other data analysis approaches like pattern recognition, data mining<\/a>, and few other known predictive analytic tools. Apart from using a set of variables and specified algorithms, machine learning also utilizes a generic algorithm, rule inductions, neural networks, case-based learnings, and analytical learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
