What is supervised learning?

Supervised learning is teaching by example.
Tom Mitchell

How It Works:

Supervised learning trains models on labeled datasets, adjusting parameters to minimize the error between predictions and known outputs.

Key Benefits:

  • Predictable outcomes: Clear performance metrics.
  • Broad applicability: Classification, regression, and more.
  • Mature tooling: Wide support in ML libraries.

Real-World Use Cases:

  • Spam detection: Emails labeled ?spam? or ?not spam.?
  • Price prediction: Predict home values from historical sales.
