Flashcards

Supervised Learning

A type of machine learning where the algorithm is trained on labeled data to predict a specific output.

Inductive Learning

Another name for supervised learning, where the model learns general patterns from specific examples.

Regression

A type of supervised learning where the output is a continuous value, like predicting the price of a house.

Classification

A type of supervised learning where the output is a category label, like classifying an email as spam or not spam.

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.
