Machine Learning Methods.
| Type of Machine Learning | Description of Technique |
|---|---|
| Unsupervised Learning | Hidden patters within unlabeled datasets are identified through clustering or association (C-means, K-means, etc) |
| Reinforcement Learning | Sequential feedback is provided to models based on their response to training data (Q-learning, SARSA, etc) |
| Semi-Supervised Learning | Models are trained with a small amount of initial data before being used to identify structures within larger unlabeled datasets (Generative model, semi-supervised SVM, etc). |
| Supervised Learning | Labeled inputs and outputs are used to approximate a relationship between variables (ie linear regression, logistic regression, SVM, KNN, etc). |
Definitions of Machine Learning Techniques and Sample Methods. Techniques are shortened to SARSA (State, Action, Reward, State, Action), SVM (Support Vector Machine), and KNN (K Nearest Neighbor).
