TABLE 3. Differences Between the AI Learning Techniques.

Supervised learning Unsupervised learning Reinforcement learning
Definition It learns by utilizing labeled data. It is trained on unlabeled data. The practitioner interacts with its environments, were as performing actions and leaning from the rewards or errors.
Problem type Classification and regression. Clustering and association. Based on rewards.
Data type Labeled data. Unlabeled data. Absent of predefined data.
Training External supervision. No supervision. No supervision.
Approach Inputs being labeled are mapped to the known output. Patterns are being understood and output is discovered. Trial and error are being implemented.
Operation ML. ML. ML.
Exploration No exploration. No exploration. Adapts through exploration.
Strategy Learning algorithm and data-dependent. Classification and data-dependent. Learns from experience.
