🏋️♂️ Batch Machine Learning
📊 Data Processing: Processes entire dataset at once.
- Example: Training a model on a historical dataset of customer purchases at the end of each month.
🔄 Model Update: Model is trained on the entire dataset in one go, then deployed.
- Example: A fraud detection model trained annually on the previous year's transaction data.
⚡ Efficiency: More efficient for large, static datasets.
- Example: Image recognition models trained on a large, labeled dataset like ImageNet.
🛠️ Complexity: Typically simpler to implement.
- Example: Batch training in Python using libraries like TensorFlow or Scikit-learn.
💻 Resource Usage: High memory and computational power required during training.
- Example: Using a high-performance GPU cluster to train deep learning models.
📅 Use Case: Ideal for scenarios where data doesn't change frequently.
- Example: Predictive maintenance models for industrial equipment updated once a year.
🚀 Online Machine Learning
📈 Data Processing: Processes data incrementally as it arrives.
- Example: A recommendation system that updates with each user's interaction in real-time.
🔄 Model Update: Model is continuously updated with new data.
- Example: Stock price prediction model that learns from every new trade executed.
⚡ Efficiency: Suitable for dynamic datasets with frequent updates.
- Example: Spam filters that adapt to new types of spam emails as they appear.
🧩 Complexity: Requires more sophisticated algorithms for continuous learning.
- Example: Implementing algorithms like Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) to update models with streaming data.
🔋 Resource Usage: Can be less resource-intensive over time, as it doesn’t require retraining on the full dataset.
- Example: A sensor data model in an IoT system that learns from each new data point without reprocessing old data.
📡 Use Case: Ideal for real-time applications and systems with streaming data.
- Example: Online advertising systems that adjust bidding strategies based on user interactions in real-time.
