Beginner Topic 3 of 51 AI & Machine Learning
Supervised Learning
Learning from labeled examples to predict outputs.
How it works
Models learn from labeled pairs (x, y); regression predicts numbers, classification predicts categories. Performance is measured on unseen data.
Where it is used
House prices, image labels.
Common pitfall
Labels are expensive and may be noisy or biased.
