Study Notes
Supervised Learning
- Supervised learning uses labeled data to train a model.
- The model learns to predict the output based on the input features.
- Examples include spam/legitimate email identification and positive/negative movie review classification.
- It is used to predict future events based on historical data.
Types of Supervised Learning
-
Regression: Predicts a continuous output value (e.g., salary, weight)
- Linear regression is the most basic type, attempting to fit a line through the data points.
- Regression models can be simple (one feature) or multiple (more than one feature).
-
Classification: Predicts a categorical output value (e.g., vegetables/groceries).
- Classification algorithms find patterns in data to categorize similar instances in future data sets.
Unsupervised Learning
- Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data to infer structure from the data.
- The algorithm identifies patterns and relationships in the data without prior training.
- Examples include customer segmentation, anomaly detection and clustering.
Types of Unsupervised Learning
-
Clustering: Groups similar data points together based on characteristics.
- Customer grouping by purchasing behavior is an example
-
Association: Discovers rules describing relationships between variables in large datasets.
- Example: People that buy X also tend to buy Y
Reinforcement Learning
- Reinforcement learning allows an agent to learn through trial and error within an environment.
- An agent takes actions, receives rewards, and learns to perform actions that maximize rewards over time.
- Used for situations with feedback.
- Example : Training a dog to bring a ball.
