Supervised Learning: Weaving Causality Through Prediction
Supervised learning is a cornerstone of modern machine learning, empowering algorithms to learn from labeled data and make accurate predictions on new, unseen data. From spam detection to medical diagnosis, its applications are vast and transformative. This blog post provides a comprehensive overview of supervised learning, exploring its principles, techniques, and real-world applications.
What is Supervised Learning?
Definition and Core Concepts
Supervised learning involves training a model on a labeled dataset, where each data point is paired with a known outcome or target variable. The goal is to learn a function that maps input features to the correct output. Think of it as teaching a child to recognize apples by showing them many examples of apples and telling them, "This is an apple...
