5 stops · basics first
  1. Machine Learning ✓ understood

    Building systems that learn patterns from data instead of following hand-written rules, getting better at a task as they see more examples.

  2. Unsupervised Learning ✓ understood

    Learning from unlabeled data to discover hidden patterns, structures, or relationships without explicit target outputs.

  3. Anomaly Detection ✓ understood

    Identifying unusual patterns or outliers in data that don't conform to expected behavior, used for fraud detection and monitoring.

  4. Supervised Learning ✓ understood

    Learning from examples paired with the correct answer, so a model can predict answers for new inputs it hasn't seen.

  5. Classification ✓ understood

    A supervised learning task where the model assigns each input to one of a fixed set of categories, such as spam or not spam.

Foundations Imbalanced Dataset A dataset where classes have significantly different numbers of examples, causing models to bias toward majority classes. Evaluation Precision The proportion of true positives among all positive predictions - measures how many predicted positives are actually positive. Evaluation Recall The proportion of true positives among all actual positives - measures how many actual positives were correctly identified. Training Online Learning Models that learn continuously from streaming data, updating incrementally as new data arrives.
