Machine learning can be broadly divided into four categories: supervised machine learning and unsupervised machine learning and, to a lesser extent, semi-supervised machine learning and reinforcement machine learning. Because supervised machine learning drives a lot of business applications and significantly affects our day-to-day lives, it is considered one of the most important categories.
This chapter reviews supervised machine learning, using multiple algorithms. In Chapter 7, we’ll look at unsupervised machine learning. I’ll begin by providing an overview of the different categories ...
