Introduction to Machine Learning

This lecture introduces the basics of machine learning for physicists and chemists, focusing on artificial intelligence concepts. It covers examples of tasks such as image classification, dataset labeling, and training sets. The instructor explains the goal of identifying whether an image contains a cat or a dog, using datasets of photos. The lecture also delves into the importance of training sets, test sets, and the concept of clustering. Additionally, it discusses the application of machine learning in identifying patterns in medical images and predicting outcomes for patients.
