1
We know humans learn from their past experiences and machines follow instructions given by humans.
2
But what if humans can train the machines to learn from their past data
3
and do what humans can do and much faster?
4
Well, that's called machine learning.
5
But it's a lot more than just learning.
6
It's also about understanding and reasoning.
7
So today we will learn about the basics of machine learning.
8
So that's Paul.
9
He loves listening to new songs.
10
he either likes them
11
or dislikes them paul decides this on the basis of the song's tempo genre intensity
12
and the gender of voice for simplicity let's just use tempo
13
and intensity for now
14
so here tempo is on the x -axis ranging from relax
15
to fast whereas intensity is on the y -axis ranging from light to soaring we see
16
that paul likes the song with fast tempo and soaring intensity
17
while he dislikes the song with relaxed tempo and light intensity
18
so now we know Paul's choices let's say Paul listens to
19
a new song let's name it as song A song A has fast tempo
20
and a soaring intensity
21
so it lies somewhere here looking at the data can you guess whether Paul will like the song
22
or not correct
23
so Paul likes this song by looking at Paul's past choices
24
we were able to classify the unknown song very easily right
25
let's say now paul listens to a new song let's label it as song b
26
so song b lies somewhere here with medium tempo
27
and medium intensity neither relaxed nor fast neither light nor soaring now can you guess whether paul likes it
28
or not not able to guess whether paul will like it
29
or dislike it are the choices unclear correct we could easily classify song a
30
but when the choice became complicated as in the case of song B yes
31
and that's where machine learning comes in let's see how in the same example for song B
32
if we draw a circle around the song B we see
33
that there are four votes for like whereas one word for dislike
34
if we go for the majority votes we can say
35
that Paul will definitely like the song that's all this was
36
a basic machine learning algorithm also it's called k nearest neighbors
37
so So this is just a small example in one of the many machine learning algorithms.
38
Quite easy, right?
39
Believe me, it is.
40
But what happens when the choices become complicated, as in the case of Song B?
41
That's when machine learning comes in.
42
It learns the data, builds the prediction model, and when the new data point comes in, it can easily predict for it.
43
More the data, better the model, higher will be the accuracy.
44
There are many ways in which the machine learns.
45
It could be either supervised learning, unsupervised learning, or reinforcement learning.
46
Let's first quickly understand supervised learning.
47
Suppose your friend gives you 1 million coins of 3 different currencies, say 1 rupee, 1 euro, and 1 dirham.
48
Each coin has different weights.
49
For example, a coin of 1 rupee weighs 3 grams, 1 euro weighs 7 grams, and 1 dirham weighs 4 grams.
50
Your model will predict the currency of the coin.
51
Here, your weight becomes the feature of coins while currency becomes their label.
52
When you feed this data to the machine learning model, it learns which feature is associated with which label.
53
For example, it will learn that if a coin is of 3 grams, it will be a 1 rupee coin.
54
Let's give a new coin to the machine.
55
On the basis of the weight of the new coin, your model will predict the currency.
56
Hence, supervised learning uses labeled data to train the model.
57
Here, the machine knew the features of the object
58
and also the labels associated with those features on this note let's move to unsupervised learning
59
and see the difference suppose you have cricket data set of various players with their respective scores
60
and the wickets taken
61
when we feed this data set to the machine the machine identifies the pattern of player performance
62
so it plots this data with the respective wickets on the x -axis
63
while runs on the y -axis while looking at the data you will clearly see
64
that there are two clusters the one cluster are the players who scored high runs
65
and took less wickets while the other cluster is of the players who scored less runs
66
but took many wickets so here we interpret these two clusters as batsmen
67
and bowlers the important point to note here is
68
that there were no labels of batsmen
69
and bowlers hence the learning with unlabeled data is unsupervised learning
70
so we saw supervised learning where the data was labeled
71
and the unsupervised learning where the data was unlabeled
72
and then there is reinforcement learning which is a reward based learning
73
or we can say
74
that it works on the principle of feedback here let's say
75
you provide the system with an image of a dog
76
and ask it to identify it the system identifies it as a cat
77
so you give a negative feedback to the machine saying
78
that it's a dog's image the machine will learn from the feedback and finally
79
if it comes across any other image of a dog it will be able to classify it correctly
80
that is reinforced learning to generalize machine learning model let's see
81
a flowchart input is given to a machine learning model
82
which then gives the output according to the algorithm applied
83
if it's right we take the output as a final result else we provide feedback to the training model
84
and ask it to predict until it learns i hope you've understood supervised
85
and unsupervised learning
86
so let's have a quick quiz you have to determine whether the given scenarios uses supervised
87
or unsupervised learning simple right scenario 1 facebook recognizes your friend
88
in a picture from an album of tagged photographs scenario 2
89
netflix recommends new movies based on someone's past movie choices scenario 3 analyzing bank data for suspicious transactions
90
and flagging the fraud transactions think wisely
91
and comment below your answers moving on don't you sometimes wonder
92
how is machine learning possible in today's era well that's
93
because today we have humongous data available everybody's online either making a transaction
94
or just surfing the internet and that's generating a huge amount of data every minute
95
and that data my friend is the key to analysis also the memory handling capabilities of computers have largely increased
96
which helps them to process such huge amount of data at hand without any delay
97
and yes computers now have great computational powers
98
so there are a lot of applications of machine learning out
99
there to name a few machine learning is used in healthcare
100
where diagnostics are predicted for doctor's review the sentiment analysis
101
that the tech giants are doing on social media is another
102
interesting application of machine learning fraud detection in the finance sector
103
and also to predict customer churn in the e -commerce sector
104
while booking a gap you must have encountered surge pricing often
105
where it says the fare of your trip has been updated
106
continue booking yes please i'm getting late for office well that's an interesting machine learning model
107
which is used by global taxi giant uber
108
and others where they have differential pricing in real time based
109
on demand the number of cars available bad weather rush hour etc
110
so they use the surge pricing model to ensure
111
that those who need a cab can get one also it
112
uses predictive of modeling to predict where the demand will be high with a goal
113
that drivers can take care of the demand and search pricing can be minimized.
114
Great!
115
Hey Siri, can you remind me to book a cab at 6pm today?
116
Okay, I'll remind you.
117
Thanks.
118
No problem.
119
Comment below some interesting everyday examples around you where machines are learning and doing amazing jobs.
120
So that's all for machine learning basics today from my side.

Until then, happy learning!

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟读,熟练之后再回到正常速度。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 coin, label, intensity 这类单词。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
