Introduction to Machine Learning

Abstract

When we are born, we are literally incapable of doing anything. We can’t even hold our head straight for a few months, but eventually, we start learning. During those days, we all fumble, make tons of mistakes, fall down, and bang our head many times but slowly learn our way to sit, walk, speak, and finally run. As a built-in mechanism, we don’t require a lot of examples to learn about things around us. For example, just by observing two to three dogs around, we can easily learn to recognize a dog from a cat. We can easily differentiate between a cycle and a car by seeing a few cars and bikes around. Even though it seems very easy and intuitive to us as human beings, for machines it can be a herculean task.
