Machine Learning Types

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed.

Supervised Learning

Supervised learning uses labeled training data to learn a mapping function from inputs to outputs.

Examples:

  • Classification problems
  • Regression problems
  • Image recognition
  • Spam detection

Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised learning finds patterns in data without labeled examples.

Examples:

  • Clustering
  • Dimensionality reduction
  • Anomaly detection
  • Association rules

Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning learns through interaction with an environment to maximize cumulative reward.

Examples:

  • Game playing
  • Robot navigation
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Trading algorithms

Conclusion

Understanding these different types of machine learning is crucial for choosing the right approach for your specific problem domain.
