Classification vs Regression

Classification maps feature vectors to categories, whereas regression maps feature vectors to real numbers.

Different Types of Learning

  1. Supervised learning: Labelled training and test examples
  2. Transfer learning: Using knowledge from one task to solve another task
  3. Reinforcement learning: Learning to navigate a robot
  4. Active learning: Deciding which examples are needed to learn
  5. Unsupervised learning: Data with no annotation
  6. Semi-supervised learning: Training and test examples with limited annotation
