Supervised Vs Unsupervised Learning

Supervised machine learning involves training a model using labeled data where the correct answers are known, allowing it to predict outcomes for new unseen data. Building accurate supervised learning models requires time, expertise, and rebuilding models to ensure insights remain valid as data changes. Unsupervised learning allows models to work autonomously to discover patterns in unlabeled data.

What is Supervised Machine Learning

In Supervised learning, you train the machine using data which is well "labeled." It means some data is
already tagged with the correct answer. It can be compared to learning which takes place in the
presence of a supervisor or a teacher.

A supervised learning algorithm learns from labeled training data, helps you to predict outcomes for
unforeseen data. Successfully building, scaling, and deploying accurate supervised machine learning
Data science model takes time and technical expertise from a team of highly skilled data scientists.
Moreover, Data scientist must rebuild models to make sure the insights given remains true until its data
changes.

What is Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised learning is a machine learning technique, where you do not need to supervise the model.
Instead, you need to allow the model to work on its own to discover information. It mainly deals with
the unlabelled data.

Why Supervised Learning

Supervised learning allows you to collect data or produce a data output from the previous experience.

Helps you to optimize performance criteria using experience

Supervised machine learning helps you to solve various types of real-world computation problems.

Use Cases for Unsupervised Learning:

 Unsupervised machine learning finds all kind of unknown patterns in data.


 Unsupervised methods help you to find features which can be useful for categorization.
 It is taken place in real time, so all the input data to be analyzed and labeled in the presence of
learners.
 It is easier to get unlabeled data from a computer than labeled data, which needs manual
intervention.

How Supervised Learning works

For example, you want to train a machine to help you predict how long it will take you to drive home
from your workplace. Here, you start by creating a set of labeled data. This data includes

 Weather conditions
 Time of the day
 Holidays

All these details are your inputs. The output is the amount of time it took to drive back home on that
specific day.
Regression:

Regression technique predicts a single output value using training data.

Example: You can use regression to predict the house price from training data. The input variables will
be locality, size of a house, etc.

Classification:

Classification means to group the output inside a class. If the algorithm tries to label input into two
distinct classes, it is called binary classification. Selecting between more than two classes is referred to
as multiclass classification.

Example: Determining whether or not someone will be a defaulter of the loan.


Clustering is an important concept when it comes to unsupervised learning. It mainly deals with finding a
structure or pattern in a collection of uncategorized data. Clustering algorithms will process your data
and find natural clusters(groups) if they exist in the data. You can also modify how many clusters your
algorithms should identify. It allows you to adjust the granularity of these groups.

Association

Association rules allow you to establish associations amongst data objects inside large databases. This
unsupervised technique is about discovering exciting relationships between variables in large databases.
For example, people that buy a new home most likely to buy new furniture.

Other Examples:

 A subgroup of cancer patients grouped by their gene expression measurements


 Groups of shopper based on their browsing and purchasing histories
 Movie group by the rating given by movies viewers
