question
Machine Learning
answer
an automated process that extracts pattern from data.
question
Supervised machine learning
answer
automatically learns a model of the relationship between a set of descriptive features and a target features based on a set of historical examples, or instances
question
Goal of machine learning
answer
to find the predictive model that generalize well
question
Inductive bias
answer
the set of assumptions that defines the model selection criteria of a machine learning algorithm
question
There are two different types of inductive bias that a machine learning algorithm can use
answer
restriction bias and preference bias
question
Restriction bias
answer
contains the set of models that the algorithm will consider during the learning process.
question
Preference bias
answer
guides the learning algorithm to prefer contain models over others. For example, in multivariable linear regression with gradient descent (Chapter 7), it implements the restriction bias of only considering descriptive features values and applies a preference bias over the order of the linear model it considers in terms of a gradient descent through a weight space.
question
Underfitting
answer
occurs when the prediction model selected by the algorithm is too simplistic to represent the underlying relationship in the dataset between the descriptive features and the target features.
question
overfitting
answer
occurs when the prediction model selected by the algorithm is so complex that the model fits the dataset too closely and becomes sensitive to noise in the data.
question
CRISPDM(Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining)
answer
One of the most commonly used process for predictive data analytics projects. It is non-proprietary, application and tool neutral etc. Key phases include:1) Business understanding including understanding of the business problem so we can design a analytic solution to address it; 2) data understanding: understand the data sources available and the kinds of data in the sources; 3) Data preparation: for example using ABT- Analytic Base Table ; 4) Modeling: build a range of prediction models from which the best model will be selected for deployment; 5) Evaluation: evaluate to be fit for the purpose; 6) Deployment: integrate the model into the process within the organization.
