Deep Learning is a branch of Machine Learning and in this chapter we will cover the fundamentals of Machine Learning. While machine learning as a subject is inherently mathematical in nature, we will keep mathematics to the basic minimum required to develop intuition about the subject. Prerequisites for the subject matter covered in this chapter would be linear algebra, multivariable calculus, and basic probability theory.
Intuition
As human beings we are intuitively aware of the concept of learning: it simply means to get better at a task over a period of time. The ...
