Learning Objective

Students will understand the general concepts of how a machine/computer can learn using pattern recognition and math

  • 1

    The three basic types of machine learning are unsupervised learning, supervised learning, and reinforcement learning.

  • 2

    Unsupervised learning is useful for finding general similarities and patterns, while supervised learning requires active input from doctors and computer scientists to improve accuracy.

  • 3

    Reinforcement learning uses an iterative approach to gather feedback and create optimal plans, and artificial neural networks can use millions of connections to tackle difficult tasks.
