Lecture 1: Introduction
Applications of Machine Learning:
- Regression
- Binary classification
- Multilabel classification
- Ranking
- Sequence to sequence prediction
- Many to one prediction
- One to many prediction
- Many to many prediction
Training, Validation & Test set: subsets of the data
- Training set: Used for inferring rules and learning by an update rule.
- Validation set: Used to choose the best learning parameters for the model to use.
- Test set: Used to generalize the model to real-world appliances.
Stratification:
A way of making sure that the sample is representative of the population by the standards of
your choosing. (Be careful about manually selecting the population for selection biases)
