Types of machine learning

The process of mechanical learning from data can take different forms, with different characteristics and predictive abilities.

  • Supervised learning
  • Unsupervised learning
  • Reinforcement learning

The differences between these learning modalities are attributable to the type of result (output) that we intend to achieve, based on the nature of the input required to produce it.

Supervised learning

In the case of supervised learning, algorithm training is conducted using an input dataset, from which the type of output that we have to obtain is already known...
