Cost Function We can measure the accuracy of our hypothesis function by using a cost function. This takes an average difference (actually a fancier version of an average) of all the results of the hypothesis with inputs from x’s and the actual output y’s. J(theta_0, theta_1) = dfrac {1}{2m} displaystyle sum _{i=1}^m left ( hat{y}_{i}- […]
Model Representation To establish notation for future use, we’ll use x^{(i)}x(i) to denote the “input” variables (living area in this example), also called input features, and y^{(i)}y(i) to denote the “output” or target variable that we are trying to predict (price). A pair (x^{(i)} , y^{(i)} )(x(i),y(i)) is called a training example, and the dataset […]
Unsupervised Learning Unsupervised learning allows us to approach problems with little or no idea what our results should look like. We can derive structure from data where we don’t necessarily know the effect of the variables. We can derive this structure by clustering the data based on relationships among the variables in the data. With […]
Supervised Learning In supervised learning, we are given a data set and already know what our correct output should look like, having the idea that there is a relationship between the input and the output. Supervised learning problems are categorized into “regression” and “classification” problems. In a regression problem, we are trying to predict results […]
What is Machine Learning? What is Machine Learning? Two definitions of Machine Learning are offered. Arthur Samuel described it as: “the field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.” This is an older, informal definition. Tom Mitchell provides a more modern definition: “A computer program is said to learn […]
