FAQ
Q: What is supervised learning?
A: Supervised learning is the type of machine learning where the algorithm learns from labeled data to map inputs to outputs and make predictions based on that labeled data.
Q: What is unsupervised learning?
A: Unsupervised learning is the type of machine learning where the algorithm learns from unlabeled data to identify patterns, shapes, or structures in the data without being explicitly told to do so.
Q: What is reinforcement learning?
A: Reinforcement learning is the type of machine learning where an agent learns to take actions in an environment to maximize some notion of cumulative reward by interacting with a dynamic system.
Q: Can you provide examples of supervised learning algorithms?
A: Some commonly used supervised learning algorithms include logistic regression, support vector machines, decision trees, random forests, and K-Nearest Neighbors.
Q: What are some examples of applications of supervised learning?
