Machine Learning
Introduction
Machine learning is a field of computer science that gives computers
the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Supervised
learning and unsupervised learning are two main types of machine
learning.
In supervised learning, the machine is trained on a set of labeled data,
which means that the input data is paired with the desired output. The
machine then learns to predict the output for new input data.
Supervised learning is often used for tasks such as classification,
regression, and object detection.
In unsupervised learning, the machine is trained on a set of unlabeled
data, which means that the input data is not paired with the desired
output. The machine then learns to find patterns and relationships in
the data. Unsupervised learning is often used for tasks such as
clustering, dimensionality reduction, and anomaly detection.
Supervised learning
Supervised learning is a type of machine learning algorithm that
learns from labeled data. Labeled data is data that has been
tagged with a correct answer or classification.
Supervised learning, as the name indicates, has the presence of
a supervisor as a teacher. Supervised learning is when we teach
or train the machine using data that is well-labelled. Which
means some data is already tagged with the correct answer.
After that, the machine is provided with a new set of
examples(data) so that the supervised learning algorithm
analyses the training data(set of training examples) and
produces a correct outcome from labeled data.
Example
For example, a labeled dataset of images of Elephant, Camel and Cow would
have each image tagged with either “Elephant” , “Camel”or “Cow.”
