FAQs
What are supervised and unsupervised learning?
Supervised learning
Think of it as a guided learning process, where the computer is a student that learns by studying examples with correct answers already provided. It's beneficial for tasks where you want AI to make predictions or classifications based on past data, like identifying spam emails or estimating real estate prices.
Unsupervised learning
Imagine sending an AI on an exploration mission into a dense jungle, where the data is the unexplored forest. Just as an explorer observes and categorizes new plants or animals without prior knowledge, unsupervised learning in AI explores the data and identifies patterns and clusters independently. This method is perfect for scenarios where the data is abundant but unlabelled, allowing the AI to uncover natural groupings or anomalies, similar to discovering unknown species or unseen paths in the wild.
Is deep learning an algorithm?
AI, machine learning, and deep learning are not algorithms themselves, but rather, fields of computer science that use a variety of algorithms to achieve their goals.
