Skills needed for Machine
Learning using Python
Skills needed for Python Machine Learning
Important requirements!
● Data oriented approach
● Out of the box thinking
● Logic building skills
● Ability to scale up quick
Getting started with
Machine Learning!
Machine Learning
The most important aspect of Data Science
● Forms to be an important application of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
● Programs learn from experience and improve on their own.
● The goal is to make machines more human-like.
● Where does it learn from?
● Datasets
Machine Learning
Types of Machine Learning
● Supervised Learning
● Unsupervised Learning
● Reinforcement Learning
Supervised Learning
● Presence of data and associated labels for the

data
Flowers Dumbbells Car
Supervised Learning
Grouping
● Regression – Prediction of future values from past data
● Classification – Categorization of items using data.
Unsupervised Learning
● Goal of the algorithm is to find a structure present in the data.
● Nothing apart from the input variables are present.
Unsupervised Learning
Grouping
● Clustering – Grouping of input variables with similar characteristics.
● Association – Mapping associations based on data ( People will also watch..)
Reinforcement Learning
● Trained based on the feedback from learning
● Algorithms work towards the rewards
Practical implementation
Machine Learning using Python
Let us take a look at two important algorithms
● Linear Regression
● KNN Algorithm
Linear Regression
Linear Regression
● What is regression?
● Modelling a target value based on independent variables.
● Why is it so popular?
● Mainly used for finding out cause-effect relationship between variables.
Linear Regression
Let us implement a simple Linear Regression model!
● Boston housing data
K-NN Algorithm
K-Nearest Neighbour Algorithm
● Input data is indexed to find the closest neighbors.
● Data is compared in the inferencing phase to save time.
● Belongs to the category of lazy learners!
Let us understand a simple KNN Classifier:
● Predict if person is male or female using KNN.
● Prediction is based on height and weight of the person.
Height Weight Gender

187 80 Male
165 50 Female
199 99 Male
145 70 Female
180 87 Male
178 65 Female
187 60 Male
Now, need to add a new entry of a person

with height 190cm and weight 100kg.
Added a new entry and plotted

the relevant graph for it.
Assume k=3:
Note: Common practice to pick ‘k’ as an odd

Assume k=5:
number if there are two classes in comparison.

Do not be overwhelmed by content!
● It is key that you as a learner is not overwhelmed by the wealth of data present online.
● Working on a structured learning path is key.
● Talking with experts in the industry and discussing about learning.
