Traditional Supervised Learning Algorithms

Artificial intelligence is the new electricity.

—Andrew Ng

In Chapter 7, we will turn our attention to supervised machine learning algorithms. These algorithms, characterized by their reliance on labeled data for model training, are multifaceted and versatile in nature. Let’s consider some instances such as decision trees, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and linear regression, to name a few, which all fall under the umbrella of supervised learning.

As we delve deeper into this field, it’s important to note that this chapter doesn’t cover neural networks, a significant category within supervised machine learning. Given their complexity and the rapid advancements occurring in the field, neural networks ...
