Exploring MATLAB for Machine Learning

Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence that is based on the development of algorithms and mathematical models capable of learning from data and autonomously adapting to improve their performance according to a set of objectives. Thanks to this learning ability, ML is used in a wide range of applications, such as data analysis, computer vision, language modeling, speech recognition, medical diagnosis, and financial risk prediction. ML is an ever-evolving area of research and is revolutionizing many fields of science and industry. The aim of this chapter is to provide you with an introduction, background information, and a basic knowledge of ML, as well as an understanding of how to apply these concepts using MATLAB tools.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • Introducing ML
  • Discovering the different types of learning processes
  • Using ML techniques
  • Exploring MATLAB toolboxes...
