Supervised Machine Learning
Supervised learning In this document, I will not go so much into explaining the concepts and different algorithms used in supervised learning but will try to explain it for novice understanding. Supervised learning in one of the approaches one can use in machine learning. Some may say it is is the easier approach as compared to its counterparts like the unsupervised learning. Supervised Learning works basically on the principle of having training data where each instance has an input (a set of attributes) and a desired output (a target class). Then we use this data to train a model that will predict the same target class for new unseen instances. In short, Supervised learning occurs when the learning data contains the “right answers”. There is an influx of supervised learning algorithms such as the simple Naïve Bayes and K-Nearest neighbors to advanced linear classifiers, such as Support Vector Machines (SVM). Some methods, such as decision trees, will allow us to ...
