Machine learning terms you must know about as a beginner.

🧵👇
These terms won't mean anything unless you know what Machine learning is all about.

> Machine learning is the process of making a program which allows a computer to learn from data.

The data could be anything, images, audio or even text.

In machine learning we use something called a neural network, this is essentially an imitation of the human brain.

> Neural Networks are a digital imitation of the neurons you see in the human brain.

(3 / 11)
In these neural networks, data flows through them and each neuron (the circle) has a numerical value which will change.

> The value of a neuron gets changes to something which is close to what we want each time the data passes through the neural network.

Think of the neurons as dials on a lock, you have to tune every dial to open the lock.

It is almost impossible for a human to tune thousands of dials like these, but a computer certainly can.

Once the dials are well tuned, you have a well trained neural network!

Each dial's numeric value is dependent on a "weight" and a "bias". The weight determines how important the neuron is and the bias make it flexible.

So here's a recap of what we've looked at so far:

The neural net is the brain of the machine learning model, the dials you have to adjust to make that neural net work are the neurons.

Each time data passes through the neural network, we get to know how wrong it is. The measure of how wrong a neural network is called the "loss". The neural network uses this thing called an "optmizer" to reduce "loss" and tries to get less wrong after each iteration.

(8 / 11)
The number of times the data passes through the neural net is called the "epoch".

Let's summarize the entire thing👇

(9 / 11)
Neural Network: The brain of our machine learning model
Neuron : Each dial in a neural network
Weight : How important the neuron is
Bias : Flexibility of neuron

(10 / 11)
Epoch : Number of times the data passes through the neural network
Loss : How wrong the neural net is
Optimizer : Tries to reduce loss and make the neural net less wrong

Congrats! You know a fair bit about commonly used machine learning terms 😉
