Introduction

Machine Learning is the field of study that gives computers ability to learn without being explicitly programmed ~ Arthur Samuel (1959)

Supervised learning

Supervised learning is simply learnings of A to B or input to output mappings. Learn from data labeled with the “right answers”.

Supervised learning examples with input to output mappings:

Regression

To predict a number from infinitely many possible numbers. It tries to fit a line, curve or any other function Eg., Housing price prediction to predict the price of the house based on area (sq. ft) etc
