Understanding Machine Learning Principles

Machine learning algorithms can be broadly categorized into supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Supervised learning involves training a model on labeled data to make predictions or classifications. Unsupervised learning focuses on finding patterns within unlabeled data, while reinforcement learning involves training an agent to interact with an environment and maximize rewards.

The "Principles And Techniques Adaptive Computation And Machine Learning Series" provides a comprehensive guide to these fundamental machine learning principles, offering theoretical insights and practical applications. Whether you are an aspiring data scientist, a seasoned machine learning practitioner, or simply curious about this exciting field, this series has something to offer for everyone.

A general framework for constructing and using probabilistic models of complex systems that would enable a computer to use available information for making decisions.

Most tasks require a person or an automated system to reason—to reach s based on available information. The framework of probabilistic graphical models, presented in this book, provides a general approach for this task. The approach is model-based, allowing interpretable models to be constructed and then manipulated by reasoning algorithms. These models can also be learned automatically from data, allowing the approach to be used in cases where manually constructing a model is difficult or even impossible. Because uncertainty is an inescapable aspect of most real-world applications, the book focuses on probabilistic models, which make the uncertainty explicit and provide models that are more faithful to reality.

Probabilistic Graphical Models discusses a variety of models, spanning Bayesian networks, undirected Markov networks, discrete and continuous models, and extensions to deal with dynamical systems and relational data. For each class of models, the text describes the three fundamental cornerstones: representation, inference, and learning, presenting both basic concepts and advanced techniques. Finally, the book considers the use of the proposed framework for causal reasoning and decision making under uncertainty. The main text in each chapter provides the detailed technical development of the key ideas. Most chapters also include boxes with additional material: skill boxes, which describe techniques; case study boxes, which discuss empirical cases related to the approach described in the text, including applications in computer vision, robotics, natural language understanding, and computational biology; and concept boxes, which present significant concepts drawn from the material in the chapter. Instructors (and readers) can group chapters in various combinations, from core topics to more technically advanced material, to suit their particular needs.
