1. Supervised Learning

The model learns from labeled data, where the correct output is already known.

Example:

  • Predicting house prices
  • Email spam detection

Input:

Features + Correct Answers

Goal: Learn a mapping from inputs to outputs.

2. Unsupervised Learning

The model learns from unlabeled data and tries to find hidden patterns or groups.

Example:

  • Customer segmentation
  • Market basket analysis

Input:

Features Only (No Answers)

Goal: Discover structure, clusters, or relationships in the data.

3. Reinforcement Learning

An agent learns by interacting with an environment and receiving rewards or penalties for its actions.

Example:

  • Game-playing AI
  • Self-driving cars
  • Robot navigation

Process:

Action → Reward/Penalty → Learn → Improve

Goal: Maximize cumulative rewards over time.

Learning Type Data Goal Example
Supervised Labeled Predict outcomes Spam detection
Unsupervised Unlabeled Find patterns Customer clustering
Reinforcement Rewards/Penalties Learn best actions Game AI
