If you are a newbie to Machine Learning
(ML), you may find some of the terminologies a bit overwhelming. In order to understand what these terms mean, you need to understand their high-level meaning.
Field | Type |
---|---|
Model | A representation of what a Machine Learning system has learned from the training . |
Training | The process of building a Machine Learning model. Training is comprised of various examples to help to build the model . |
Examples | One row of a dataset helps in training a model. An example consists of the input data and a Label . |
Feature | A feature is an input variable that helps with the Prediction . |
Label | In Supervised Learning, Label is the possible result of an example . |
Dataset | A dataset is a collection of examples . |
Prediction | Prediction is the output of a model based on the input examples. |
Classification Model | A model that helps differentiate between two or more discrete models (e.g., spam and non-spam emails). |
Supervised Learning | Supervised machine learning is about Training a model using the input data and respective Label . |
Image Classification | A process that classifies objects and patterns in an image. |
Unsupervised Learning | Unsupervised machine learning is about Training a model to find patterns in an unlabeled dataset . |
Clustering | In Unsupervised machine learning, related examples are grouped together in a process called Clustering. |
Regression Model | While a classification model outputs discrete values, a regression model outputs continuous values (e.g., values between 0 to 1). |
