Training
Training is the process of teaching a machine learning model to recognize patterns in data. Training data is used to train the model to learn these patterns.
Example
Suppose we have a dataset for house prices given its square footage as follows:
| Square Footage (x) | Price (y) |
|---|---|
| 1,000 | 300,000 |
| 2,000 | 500,000 |
| 3,000 | 700,000 |
Notation:
- x: input features
- y: output targets
- m: number of instances
- (x, y): instance
- (xi, yi): Single training i-th instance
