L1-Machine Learning

Question 1

What is machine Learning?

Answer 1

Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed

Question 2

Machine Learning vs. Data Mining

Answer 2

Machine learning focuses on designing algorithms that can learn from historical data and make predictions. Data mining is a cross-disciplinary field that aims at discovering properties (useful information) of data sets. Machine learning can be used for data mining

Question 3

Rule-based approach

Answer 3

Explicitly programmed to solve problems. Decision rules are clearly defined by humans.

Question 4

Machine learning approach

Answer 4

Trained (i.e., learned) from examples. Decision rules are complex and fuzzy. Rules are not defined by humans but
learned by machines from data
