Il machine learning ha tre tipi principali — supervised learning (imparare da esempi etichettati), unsupervised learning (trovare pattern nei dati non etichettati), e reinforcement learning (imparare attraverso trial e reward). Comprenderli chiarisce come il ML affronta diversi problemi.
I tre tipi principali
SUPERVISED LEARNING → learn from LABELED data (input → known correct output):
→ trained on examples with answers → learns to predict outputs for new inputs
→ for: classification (categorize), regression (predict numbers)
→ e.g. spam detection (labeled spam/not-spam), price prediction
UNSUPERVISED LEARNING → find patterns in UNLABELED data (no given answers):
→ discovers structure/groupings on its own
→ for: clustering (group similar items), dimensionality reduction, anomaly detection
→ e.g. customer segmentation, finding patterns
REINFORCEMENT LEARNING → learn through TRIAL and ERROR with REWARDS:
→ an agent takes actions, gets rewards/penalties, learns to maximize reward over time
→ for: game playing, robotics, control, decision-making
