Key Ideas
1The Question That Defines Every ML Problem. Before you write a single line of code, every machine learning problem starts with one question: what kind of information do you actually have, and what are you trying...
2Supervised Learning. You have labeled examples — inputs paired with known correct answers — and you want the model to learn the relationship well enough to predict answers for ...
3Unsupervised Learning. You have data but no labeled answers — nobody has told the model what the "correct" output should be. Instead, the model finds structure or patterns hidden in th...
4Reinforcement Learning. An agent takes actions in an environment and learns from rewards or penalties over time — closer to how a dog learns tricks through treats than to the example-ba...
