Table 2. Types of machine learning.
Machine learning algorithms | Description | Types |
---|---|---|
Supervised learning 30, 31 | Dataset contains labels and
outcomes |
This includes logistic regression, Bayesian network, random
forests, elastic net regression, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. |
Unsupervised learning 30, 31 | The algorithm deciphers relationships
in datasets without labels. |
This includes K-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, and
principal component analysis. |
Semi-supervised learning 30, 31 | Dataset contains labeled and
unlabeled classes and outcomes. |
It is a mixture of supervised and unsupervised learning, used in
speech and image recognition. |
Re-enforcement learning 30, 31 | Similar to psychology, uses reward
function |
Based on human psychology. Used in analytics, imaging, and
disease screening |
