Machine Learning 101 | Essential Tools for Machine Learning
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like85 views
This document provides an overview of machine learning tools and languages. It discusses Python, R, and MATLAB as the most commonly used tools. For each tool, it lists advantages and disadvantages. Python is highlighted as the number one language for machine learning due to its many libraries and large user community. R is best for time series analysis and causal inference. MATLAB is still a leading tool for signal processing but lacks machine learning libraries. The document also provides resources for learning machine learning foundations and examples.

- 2. Essential Tools for Machine Learning
- 3. Questions to Consider Before You Start…! Every machine learning workflow begins with three questions: • What kind of data are you working with? • What insights do you want to get from it? • How and where will those insights be applied?
- 4. • Data processing capabilities • Specialized machine learning • Programmatic workflows • Tools for scaling the machine learning workflow • Automatic code generation tools for rapidly deploying your analytics • To embedded targets Essential things for a ML tool
- 5. Machine Learning Tools & Languages • MATLAB • Python • R • Java-family/C-family • Jupyter notebook • Other concerns
- 7. • Data input, output, preprocessing and postprocessing - Python • Pre-built algorithms – R, Python • Novel algorithms - R • Plotting - Python, MATLAB, R • Exploration – Python, MATLAB, R • Teaching - MATLAB • Sharing and dissemination - Python • Performance - ????
- 8. Pros and Cons of Each Language for ML
- 9. • MATLAB Advantage: • Many wonderful libraries and the number one choice in signal processing, communication system, and control theory. • Simulink: One of the best toolboxes in MATLAB is used extensively in control and dynamical system applications. • Lots of available and robust packages for optimization, control, and numerical analysis. • Nice toolbox for graphical work (Lets you plot beautiful looking graphs) and inherent support for matrix and vector manipulation. • Easy to learn and has a user-friendly interface. Disadvantage: • Proprietary and not free or open-source, which makes it very hard for collaboration. • Lack of good packages and libraries for machine learning, AI, time series analysis, and causal inference. • Limited in terms of functionality: cannot be used for web development and app design. • Not object-oriented language. • Smaller user community compared to Python.
- 10. Advantage: • Many wonderful libraries in machine learning, AI, web development, and optimization. • Number one language for deep learning and machine learning in general. • Open-source and free. • A large community of users across GitHub, Stackoverflow, and … • It can be used for other applications besides engineering, unlike MATLAB. For example, GUI (Graphical User Interface) development using Tkinter and PyQt. • Object-oriented language. • Easy to learn and user-friendly syntax. Disadvantage: • Lack of good packages for signal processing and communication (still behind for engineering applications). • Steeper learning curve than MATLAB since it is an object-oriented programming(OOP) language and is harder to master. • Requires more time and expertise to setup and install the working environment. • Python
- 11. Advantage: • So many wonderful libraries in statistics and machine learning. • Open-source and free. • Number one language for time series analysis, causal inference, and PGM. • A large community of researchers, especially in academia. • Ability to create web applications, for example, through the Shiney app. Disadvantage: • Slower compared to Python and Matlab. • More limited scope in terms of applications compared to Python. (Cannot be used for game development or cannot be as a backend for web developments) • Not object-oriented language. • Lack of good packages for signal processing and communication (still behind for engineering applications). • Smaller user communities compared to Python. • Harder and not user-friendly compared to Python and Matlab. • R
- 12. A foundation to build a machine learning knowledge and skills • Regression • Classification • Clustering • Dimensionality Reduction • Ensemble Methods • Neural Nets and Deep Learning • Transfer Learning • Reinforcement Learning • Decision trees • Others https://github.com/attaullahshafiq10/ML-101
