Machine Learning Supervised Learning
What Is It?
Supervised learning involves training algorithms on structured datasets where each item contains both inputs and desired outcomes. It discovers associations between features and targets, enabling informed predictions on unfamiliar data.
Key Characteristics
- Requires annotated samples
- Learns correlations between variables and outcomes
- Divides into classification and regression problems
- Performance is judged using task-specific metrics like F1 for labels, or MSE for numeric guesses.
Types of Problems
1. Classification
Predicts discrete categories.
Example:
Email spam detection
- Input: Message text
- Output: "Spam" or "Not Spam"
2. Regression
Predicts continuous quantities.
Example:
House price estimation
- Input: Size, location, number of rooms
- Output: Price in dollars
| Use Case | Input Features | Predicted Result |
|---|---|---|
| Loan approval | Credit score, income, employment | Approved / Denied |
| Disease diagnosis | Symptoms, test results | Disease name |
| Movie rating prediction | Genre, cast, budget | Star rating |
| Electricity usage forecast | Hour, temperature, location | Kilowatt consumption |
