Module 0 - What is Machine Learning? - Part One

Machine learning is a big topic. Before you can start to use it, you need to understand what it is, and what it is and isn’t capable of. This lesson is part one of the module on machine learning. It starts with the basics, introducing you to AI and its history. We’ll discuss the ethics of it, and talk about examples of currently existing AI. We’ll cover data, statistics and variables, before moving onto notation and supervised learning.

Part two of this two-part series can be found here, and covers unsupervised learning, the theoretical basis for machine learning, model and linear regression, the semantic gap, and how we approximate the truth.
