Types of Machine Learning<\/a> \u2014 The first time I heard this sentence was quite recent.<\/span> My professor wrote it on the board and I reasoned, great, another list of useless categories to memorise.<\/span> However, the thing is that after I related these types to my everyday activities (such as Netflix recommendations, spam filters or even self-driving cars \ud83d\ude97), everything became clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you ever find yourself wondering why does YouTube know what video I will watch next? or how does my bank prevent fraud in a few seconds? The answer has to do with the types of machine learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this blog, I am going to take you through them as I would explain to a friend.<\/span> Direct, straight and a touch personal.<\/span> Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

Machine learning is of different types; what are those?<\/h2>\n

To get into the kinds of machine learning it is time to establish the scene.<\/span> Machine learning (ML) simply refers to the process of teaching machines how to learn the patterns based on data.<\/span> We do not write whether this or that, but we feed the machine data and it calculates things.<\/span> Cool, right?<\/p>\n

However, here is the twist to it all not every learning is the same.<\/span> Machines learn like us human beings, who learn in various ways, through teachers, experiences or trial and error.<\/span> The 5 types of machine learning enter the picture there.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Supervised Learning<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is the most widespread machine learning.<\/span> In supervised learning we transform the model on labeled data (fancy word for already has answers).<\/span><\/p>\n

MyLife example: Choose a situation when I was a child and was studying math.<\/span> My teacher provided me with sums whose answers were in the back of the book.<\/span> I figured out, verified and repaired myself.<\/span> That is monitored learning at work.<\/span><\/p>\n
