Two definitions of Machine Learning are offered. Arthur Samuel described it as: the field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. This is an older, informal definition. Tom Mitchell provides a more modern definition: A computer program is sa...

Supervised learning is a type of machine learning algorithm that uses a known data-set (called the training data-set) to make predictions. Category of supervised learning: Regression: In a regression problem, we are trying to predict results within a continuous output, meaning that we are trying...

Unsupervised learning allows us to approach problems with little or no idea what our results should look like. We can derive structure from data where we don't necessarily know the effect of the variables. Example: Clustering: Is used for exploratory data analysis to find hidden patterns or groupi...
