โ“ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Machine Learning


Q1: What is the difference between AI, machine learning, and deep learning?

๐Ÿง  AI is a broad concept of creating intelligent machines
๐Ÿ” ML is a subset focused on algorithms that learn from data
๐Ÿงฌ Deep Learning is a subset of ML that uses neural networks with many layers


Q2: Do I need programming skills to learn ML?

๐Ÿ’ป Yes, proficiency in programming languages like Python or R is essential to implement and experiment with algorithms.


Q3: How much data is needed for ML?

๐Ÿ“Š It depends on the problem complexity.
๐Ÿ“ˆ Generally, more data leads to better models, but quality often outweighs quantity.


Q4: Can ML models be biased?

โš ๏ธ Yes, models can reflect biases present in training data, making fairness and bias mitigation critical components of ML workflows.


Q5: How do I choose the right algorithm?

๐ŸŽฏ Start with:

  • Problem type
  • Data characteristics
  • Resource constraints

๐Ÿงช Experimentation and validation are key to selecting optimal models.
