Key Concepts in Machine Learning

1. Types of Machine Learning


 Supervised Learning:
o Models learn from labeled datasets.

o Examples: Regression, classification.

o Applications: Spam detection, credit scoring.

 Unsupervised Learning:
o Models identify patterns in unlabeled data.

o Examples: Clustering, dimensionality reduction.

o Applications: Customer segmentation, anomaly detection.

 Semi-Supervised Learning:
o Combines labeled and unlabeled data to improve learning efficiency.

o Applications: Medical diagnosis where labeled data is scarce.

 Reinforcement Learning:
o Models learn by interacting with an environment to maximize
rewards.
o Applications: Robotics, game-playing (e.g., AlphaGo).
