This document provides an overview of machine learning basics for web application developers. It discusses linear binary classifiers and logistic regression, how to measure model fitness with loss functions, and graphical understandings of linear classifiers. It then covers linear multiclass classifiers using softmax functions, image classification with neural networks, and ways to improve accuracy using convolutional neural networks. Finally, it discusses client applications that use pre-trained machine learning models through API services and examples of smile detection and cucumber classification.
