Study Notes
Supervised Learning
Definition: Supervised learning is a type of machine learning where the model is trained on labeled data, meaning the target output is already known. The goal is to learn a mapping between input data and output labels, so the model can make predictions on new, unseen data.
Types of Supervised Learning:
- Regression: Predicting a continuous output variable (e.g., predicting house prices)
- Classification: Predicting a categorical output variable (e.g., spam vs. not spam emails)
How Supervised Learning Works:
- Data Preparation: Collect and preprocess labeled data
- Model Training: Train a model on the labeled data
- Model Evaluation: Evaluate the model's performance on a test dataset
- Model Deployment: Deploy the trained model to make predictions on new data
Key Concepts:
- Features: Input variables used to train the model
- Targets: Output labels or variables being predicted
- Loss Function: Measures the difference between the model's predictions and the actual targets
- Optimization Algorithm: Used to minimize the loss function and improve the model's performance
Common Supervised Learning Algorithms:
- Linear Regression: Linear model for regression tasks
- Logistic Regression: Linear model for classification tasks
- Decision Trees: Tree-based model for classification and regression tasks
- Random Forest: Ensemble of decision trees for improved performance
- Support Vector Machines (SVMs): Max-margin model for classification tasks
Supervised Learning
- Supervised learning is a type of machine learning that involves training a model on labeled data to learn a mapping between input data and output labels.
Definition of Supervised Learning
- The goal of supervised learning is to make predictions on new, unseen data.
Types of Supervised Learning
- There are two primary types of supervised learning: regression and classification.
- Regression: Predicting a continuous output variable, such as predicting house prices.
- Classification: Predicting a categorical output variable, such as spam vs. not spam emails.
How Supervised Learning Works
- Data Preparation: Collect and preprocess labeled data to prepare it for model training.
- Model Training: Train a model on the labeled data to learn the mapping between input data and output labels.
