Nowadays, computers appear to do a lot more than simply unravel mathematical equations. In the last half-century, programming has become the ultimate tool to automate tasks and save time but how much can we automate and how do we go about doing so? 2 Can a computer observe a photograph and say ah ha i see a lovely couple walking over a bridge under an umbrella in the rain? Can software make medical decisions as accurately as that of trained professionals? Can software predictions about the stock market perform better than human reasoning? The achievements of the past decade hint that the answer to all these questions is a resounding" yes, and the implementations appear to share a common strategy Recent theoretic advances coupled with newly available technologies have enabled anyone with access to a computer to attempt their own approach at solving these incredibly hard problems. Okay, not just anyone but that's why you re reading this book, right? a programmer no longer needs to know the intricate details of a problem to solve it. Consider converting speech to text: a traditional approach may involve understanding the biological structure of human vocal chords to decipher utterances using many hand-designed, domain-specific, un-generalizable pieces of code. Nowadays, it's possible to write code that simply looks at many examples, and figures out how to solve the problem given enough time and examples The algorithm learns from data, similar to how humans learn from experiences. Humans learn by reading books, observing situations, studying in school, exchanging conversations, browsing websites, among other means. How can a machine possibly develop a brain capable of learning? There's no definitive answer but world-class researchers have developed intelligent programs from different angles. among the implementations scholars have noticed recurring patterns in solving these kinds of problems that has led to a standardized field that we today label as machine learning(ML) As the study of ML matures, the tools have become more standardized robust, performant and scalable. This is where TensorFlow comes in. It's a software library with an intuitive interface that lets programmers dive into using complex ML ideas. the next chapter will go through the ins and outs of this library and every chapter thereafter will explain how to use Tensor Flow for each of the various ML applications Trusting machine learning output Detecting patterns is a trait that 's no longer unique to humans. The explosive growth of computer clock-speed and memory has led us to an unusual situation: computers now can be used to make predictions, catch anomalies, rank items, and automatically label images. This new set of tools provides intelligent answers to ill-defined problems, but at the subtle cost of trust. Would you trust a computer algorithm to dispense vital medical advice such as whether to perform heart surgery? There is no place for mediocre machine learning solutions. Human trust is too fragile, and our algorithms must be robust against doubt. Follow along closely and carefully in this chapter 1.1 Machine learning fundamentals Have you ever tried to explain to someone how to swim? Describing the rhythmic joint movements and fluid patterns is overwhelming in its complexity. Similarly, some software problems are too complicated for us to easily wrap our minds around For this machine learning may be just the tool to use Hand-crafting carefully tuned algorithms to get the job done was once the only way building software. From a simplistic point of view, traditional programming assumes a deterministic output for each of its input. Machine learning, on the other hand can solve a class of problems where the input-output correspondences are not well understood Full speed ahead! lachine learning is a relatively young technology, so imagine you're a geometer in Euclid's era, paving the way to a newly discovered field. Or, treat yourself as a physicist during the time of Newton, possibly pondering something equivalent to general relativity for the field of machine learning. Machine Learning is about software that learns from previous experiences. Such a computer program improves performance as more and more examples are available. The hope is that if you throw enough data at this machinery it will learn patterns and produce intelligent results for newly fed input Another name for machine learning is inductive learning because the code is trying to infer structure from data alone. It's like going on vacation in a foreign country, and reading a loca fashion magazine to mimic how to dress up. You can develop an idea of the culture from images of people wearing local articles of clothing. You are learning inductively You might have never used such an approach when programming before because inductive learning is not always necessary. Consider the task of determining whether the sum of two arbitrary numbers is even or odd. Sure, you can imagine training a machine learning algorithm with millions of training examples (outlined in Figure 1.1),but you certainly know that's overkill. a more direct approach can easily do the trick. Input Output X1=(2,2) y1= Even X2=(3,2) y2=Odd 3=(2,3) y3=Odd X4=(3,3) 4= Even Figure 1.1 Each pair of integers, when summed together, results in an even or odd number. The input and output correspondences listed are called the ground-truth dataset. For example the sum of two odd numbers is always an even number Convince yourself: take any two odd numbers add them up, and check whether the sum is an even number. Here's how you can prove that fact directly For any integer n, the formula 2n+1 produces an odd number. Moreover, any odd number can be written as 2n+1 for some value n. So the number 3 can be written 2 (1)+1. And the number 5 can be written 2(2)+1 So, let's say we have two different odd numbers 2n+1 and 2m+I, where n and m ar integers. Adding two odd numbers together yields(2n+)+(2m+1 )=2n 2m 2 2(n+m+1). This is an even number because 2 times anything is even Likewise, we see that the sum of two even numbers is also an even number 2m + 2n 2(m+n). And lastly we also deduce that the sum of an even with an odd is an odd number: 2m +(2n+1)=2(m+n)+ 1. Figure 1.2 visualizes this logic more clearly even odd 2m+2n= 2m+(2n+1)= even 2(1 m n 2m+2n+1 even odd (2m+1)+2n=(2m+1)+(2n+1)= odd 2m+2n+1 2m+n+1) odd even Figure 1.2 This table reveals the inner logic behind how the output response corresponds to the input pairs That's it! With absolutely no use of machine learning, you can solve this task on any pair of integers someone throws at you. Simply applying mathematical rules directly can solve this problem. However, in ML algorithms we can treat the inner logic as a black box, meaning the logic happening inside might not be obvious to interpret 2+3is 目 ODD Black box Figure 1.3 An Ml approach to solving problems can be thought of as tuning the parameters of a black box until it produces satisfactory results. PARAMETERS Sometimes the best way to devise an algorithm that transforms an input to its corresponding output is too complicated For example, if the input were a series of numbers representing a grayscale image, you can imagine the difficulty in writing an algorithm to label every object seen in the image Machine learning comes in handy when the inner workings are not well understood. It provides us with a toolset to write software without adequately defining every detail of the algorithm. The programmer can leave some values undecided and let the machine learning system figure out the best values by itself. The undecided values are called parameters and the description is referred to as the model. Your job is to write an algorithm that observes existing examples to figure out how to best tune parameters to achieve the best model. Wow that's a mouthful! Dont worry, this concept will be a reoccurring motif Machine learning might solve a problem without much insight By mastering this art of inductive problem solving, we wield a double-edged sword. Although Ml algorithms may appear to answer correctly to our tests, tracing the steps of deduction to reason why a result is produced may not be as immediate. An elaborate machine learning system learns thousands of parameters, but untangling the meaning behind each parameter is sometimes not the prime directive. With that in mind I assure you there 's a world of magic to unfold EXERCISE Suppose you've collected three months-worth of stock market prices. You would like to predict future trends to outsmart the system for monetary gains. Without using ML, how would you go about solving this problem?(As we'll see in chapter 8, this problem becomes approachable using ML techniques. LEARNING AND INFERENCE Suppose you're trying to bake some desserts in the oven. If you re new to the kitchen, it can take days to come up with both the right combination and perfect ratio of ingredients to make something that tastes great. By recording recipes, you can remember how to quickly repeat the dessert if you happen to discover the ultimate tasting meal Similarly machine learning shares this idea of recipes. Typically we examine an algorithm in two stages: learning and inference. The objective of the learning stage is to describe the data, which is called the feature vector and summarize it into a mode the model is our recipe. In effect, the model is a program with a couple of open interpretations and the data helps disambiguate it WHAT IS A FEATURE VECTOR? A feature vector is a practical simplification of data. You can think of it as a sufficient summary of real-world objects into a list of attributes. the learning and inference steps rely on the feature vector instead of the data directly. Similar to how recipes can be shared and used by other people the learned model is also reused by other software. The learning stage is the most time-consuming. Running an algorithm may take hours, if not days or weeks to converge into a useful model. Figure 1.4 outlines the learning pipeline. Learning a model Training data Feature Learning vector Algorithm Model Figure 1. 4 the general learning approach follows a structured recipe. First, the dataset needs to be transformed nto a representation, most often a list of vectors which can be used by the learning algorithm. The learning algorithm choses a model and efficiently searches for the model's parameters The inference stage uses the model to make intelligent remarks about never-before-seen data. It's like using a recipe you found online. The process typically takes orders of magnitude less time than learning sometimes even being real-time. Inference is all about testing the model on new data, and observing performance in the process, as shown in figure 1.5 Inferring from a model 目→冢 Test data Feature Model Prediction vector Figure 1. 5 The general inference approach uses a model that has already been either learned or simply given After converting data to a usable representation, such as a feature vector, it uses the model to produce intended
