Two types are discussed here: Supervised learning and unsupervised learning.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Supervised Learning<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Supervised learning is like teaching a machine with a guidebook. Humans show the machine examples (data) that are clearly marked (labeled). The machine studies these examples and learns what to do. Then, when it sees new data, it uses what it learned from the examples to label or classify it correctly.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Supervised learning can be divided into two categories: Classification and regression.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"3\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Classification<\/span><\/b> <span data-contrast=\"none\">is like sorting things into groups. For example, deciding if something is a &#8216;car&#8217; or a &#8216;human&#8217;. You teach the system how to do this by showing it examples where you already know the answer. So, once it has learned from these, it can then make accurate guesses for new examples.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"3\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Examples of when classification could be used include predicting whether an email is spam, segmenting customers for marketing strategies, or categorizing documents by topic using text analysis. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"3\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Regression<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> is a method used when you want to predict a number, like someone&#8217;s height or salary. It helps us understand how changing one thing (like years of experience) affects another thing (like salary). For example, it can tell us how much we might expect someone&#8217;s salary to increase with each additional year of experience. It&#8217;s commonly used to make predictions about the future or to understand relationships between things.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Unsupervised Learning<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Unlike supervised learning where a model learns from labeled data to make predictions, unsupervised learning is when a model learns from unlabeled data to identify patterns or structures within that data. It&#8217;s like learning without a teacher.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Unsupervised learning is founded on deep learning, a subset of ML that mimics how the human brain works to process data for use in detecting objects, recognizing speech, translating languages, and making decisions. Unsupervised learning involves training an algorithm with unlabeled data, which requires the algorithm to determine the structure of the input. The goal is to find and identify underlying patterns rather than to predict outcomes. A key example is detecting anomalies in a dataset, such as instances of credit card fraud within a large set of valid transactions.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">What ML Can Do<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Every business unit across organizations can benefit from bringing ML-driven processes into their workflows.

Two types are discussed here: Supervised learning and unsupervised learning.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Supervised Learning<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Supervised learning is like teaching a machine with a guidebook. Humans show the machine examples (data) that are clearly marked (labeled). The machine studies these examples and learns what to do. Then, when it sees new data, it uses what it learned from the examples to label or classify it correctly.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Supervised learning can be divided into two categories: Classification and regression.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"3\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Classification<\/span><\/b> <span data-contrast=\"none\">is like sorting things into groups. For example, deciding if something is a &#8216;car&#8217; or a &#8216;human&#8217;. You teach the system how to do this by showing it examples where you already know the answer. So, once it has learned from these, it can then make accurate guesses for new examples.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"3\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Examples of when classification could be used include predicting whether an email is spam, segmenting customers for marketing strategies, or categorizing documents by topic using text analysis. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"3\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Regression<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> is a method used when you want to predict a number, like someone&#8217;s height or salary. It helps us understand how changing one thing (like years of experience) affects another thing (like salary). For example, it can tell us how much we might expect someone&#8217;s salary to increase with each additional year of experience. It&#8217;s commonly used to make predictions about the future or to understand relationships between things.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Unsupervised Learning<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Unlike supervised learning where a model learns from labeled data to make predictions, unsupervised learning is when a model learns from unlabeled data to identify patterns or structures within that data.

Unsupervised learning involves training an algorithm with unlabeled data, which requires the algorithm to determine the structure of the input. The goal is to find and identify underlying patterns rather than to predict outcomes. A key example is detecting anomalies in a dataset, such as instances of credit card fraud within a large set of valid transactions.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">What ML Can Do<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Every business unit across organizations can benefit from bringing ML-driven processes into their workflows.
