    Study Notes

    Supervised Learning

    Definition: Supervised learning is a type of machine learning where the model is trained on labeled data, meaning the correct output is already known for each input.

    Key Characteristics:

    • The model learns to map inputs to outputs based on the labeled data.
    • The goal is to make predictions on new, unseen data.

    Types of Supervised Learning:

    1. Regression:
      • Predict continuous or numerical values.
      • Examples: predicting house prices, stock prices, energy consumption.
    2. Classification:
      • Predict categorical or class labels.
      • Examples: spam vs. non-spam emails, handwritten digit recognition.

    How Supervised Learning Works:

    1. Data Collection: Gather labeled data, where each example consists of an input and a corresponding output.
    2. Model Training: Feed the labeled data into a machine learning algorithm, which learns to recognize patterns and relationships between the inputs and outputs.
    3. Model Evaluation: Measure the performance of the trained model using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.
    4. Model Deployment: Use the trained model to make predictions on new, unseen data.

    Supervised Learning Algorithms:

    1. Linear Regression:
      • Simple and widely used for regression tasks.
      • Assumes a linear relationship between inputs and outputs.
    2. Logistic Regression:
      • Used for classification tasks, particularly for binary classification problems.
      • Outputs a probability of the positive class.
    3. Decision Trees:
      • Simple, interpretable, and widely used for both regression and classification tasks.
      • Can be combined with other models using techniques like bagging and boosting.
    4. Random Forests:
      • An ensemble learning method that combines multiple decision trees.
      • Improves accuracy and reduces overfitting.
    5. Support Vector Machines (SVMs):
      • Powerful and flexible algorithm for classification and regression tasks.
      • Finds the decision boundary that maximally separates classes.

    Challenges and Limitations:

    1. Overfitting: When the model is too complex and performs well on training data but poorly on new data.
    2. Underfitting: When the model is too simple and fails to capture the underlying patterns in the data.
    3. Data Quality: Noisy, incomplete, or biased data can negatively impact model performance.
    4. Label Quality: Incorrect or inconsistent labeling can lead to poor model performance.
