• Synthetic data

  Synthetic data in machine learning refers to artificially generated data used to train and evaluate models. It is typically used when real-world data is limited, expensive, or private. Synthetic data can be generated by simulating real-world data or by creating new data that is similar to the real-world data. Synthetic data has several benefits in machine learning: Increased data size: Synthetic data can be used to increase the size of the training dataset, which can help to improve the perfSome readers

• 1. Machine Learning Algorithms Basics

  Machine learning is a method of teaching computers to learn from data, without being explicitly programmed. There are many different types of machine learning algorithms, but they can broadly be grouped into three categories: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Supervised Learning Supervised learning is the most common type of machine learning and it involves training a model on a labeled dataset, where the desired output is already known. Common exampleSome readers

• 4. Instance-Based versus Model-Based Learning

  After machine learning (ML) models are trained on enough data, they are ready to make predictions on unseen data. While some ML models can predict the target aim by comparing the unseen data to the previous data, other ML models derive a mathematical function that enables them to make general predictions without comparing the new data to the trained data. We will call these two broad ML models as instance-based and model-based learning, respectively. Instance-Based Learning Instance-baseFew readers

• 2. Main Advantages of Machine Learning

  Machine learning has taken the world by storm in the last decade. But why is machine learning prefarable over the conventional methods that have been used by people over a way longer period? Here are some of the most imperative benefits machine learning provides with real-life examples: Machine learning can learn the rules to solve a problem by itself, and doesn't require long-lasting fine-tunings. For instance, in a fraud detection system, a conventional method would require manual updatesFew readers

• 3. Major Challenges Machine Learning Faces

  There are several major challenges that machine learning faces. Some of the most significant challenges include: Data Quality: Machine learning relies heavily on data, and the quality of the data can greatly affect the performance of the model. Issues such as missing or corrupted data, outliers, and bias can all negatively impact the accuracy of the model. For instance, in healthcare, missing or incorrect data in patient records can impact the performance of ML models in predicting patientFew readers

• 5. Batch Learning versus Incremental Learning

  We can classify machine learning models by whether the system learns the data incrementally from a flow of live data. Batch Learning Batch machine learning refers to the process of training a model on a dataset that is fully available at the beginning of the learning process. The model is then deployed and used without any further updates. The main advantage of batch learning is that it can be done using more powerful hardware and can be optimized for specific use cases.
