Complete Notes on Machine Learning and Deep Learning
1.1 Introduction to Machine Learning
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that focuses on building systems that learn from data and
improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed.
Types of Learning:
1. Supervised Learning: Learns from labeled data (e.g., predicting house prices).
2. Unsupervised Learning: Identifies patterns from unlabeled data (e.g., customer segmentation).
3. Reinforcement Learning: Learns by interacting with an environment and maximizing rewards (e.g., game-playing
agents).
1.2 Probability and Statistics
Bayes Theorem: P(A|B) = (P(B|A)P(A)) / P(B)
Probability Distributions: Gaussian, Bernoulli, Poisson, etc.
Hypothesis Testing: Null and alternative hypotheses, p-values, confidence intervals.
1.3 Linear Algebra
Vectors and Matrices: Represent features and datasets.
Operations: Dot product, cross product, matrix multiplication.
Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors: Used in PCA for dimensionality reduction.
1.4 Calculus
Derivatives: Measure change; used in gradient descent.
Partial Derivatives: For functions with multiple variables.

Optimization: Finding minima/maxima using gradients.
1.5 Data Preprocessing
1. Data Cleaning: Handling missing values, removing outliers.
2. Feature Scaling: Normalization (scaling to [0,1]) and Standardization (z-scores).
3. Encoding: Converting categorical data into numerical data (e.g., one-hot encoding).
