Basics of Machine Learning
Definition of Machine Learning
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables computer systems to learn and improve from data without being explicitly programmed. The core of machine learning lies in algorithms and statistical models that allow computers to automatically discover patterns and rules from data.
Types of Machine Learning
-
Supervised Learning: Learning models from labeled training data, common tasks include classification and regression.
-
Unsupervised Learning: Finding hidden structures in unlabeled data, common tasks include clustering and dimensionality reduction.
-
Reinforcement Learning: Learning optimal behavior strategies through interaction with the environment, commonly found in robot control and games.
Application Scenarios of Machine Learning
-
Image Recognition: Identifying objects, faces, etc., in images.
-
Natural Language Processing: Text classification, sentiment analysis, machine translation, etc.
-
Recommendation Systems: Recommending products, movies, music, etc., to users.
-
Financial Risk Prediction: Predicting market trends, credit risks, etc.

Data Preprocessing
In machine learning projects, data preprocessing is one of the key steps. It includes data cleaning, feature extraction, normalization, and other operations.
import weka.core.Instances;
import weka.core.converters.ConverterUtils.DataSource;
import weka.filters.Filter;
import weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.Normalize;
public class DataPreprocessingExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Load dataset
DataSource source = new DataSource("iris.arff");
Instances data = source.getDataSet();
data.setClassIndex(data.numAttributes() - 1);
// Normalize data
Normalize normalize = new Normalize();
normalize.setInputFormat(data);
Instances normalizedData = Filter.useFilter(data, normalize);
// Output normalized data
System.out.println(normalizedData);
}
}Model Training and Evaluation
Training machine learning models and evaluating their performance is the core part of the project. Common evaluation metrics include accuracy, recall, F1 score, etc.
import weka.classifiers.Classifier;
import weka.classifiers.Evaluation;
import weka.classifiers.trees.J48;

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Load dataset
DataSource source = new DataSource("iris.arff");
Instances data = source.getDataSet();
data.setClassIndex(data.numAttributes() - 1);
