Supervised Learning --回归/分类

在监督学习下，我们是明确了要从数据中得到什么结果，以及知道了这个数据集与结果的关系。监督学习主要有回归和分类。回归是建立连续函数，从连续函数预测得到连续结果。分类则是得到离散结果。
1.明晰得到怎样的结果，预测因子与影响因子存在关系
2.可以衡量预测的效果。
In supervised learning, we are given a data set and already know what our correct output should look like, having the idea that there is a relationship between the input and the output.
Supervised learning problems are categorized into “regression” and “classification” problems. In a regression problem, we are trying to predict results within a continuous output, meaning that we are trying to map input variables to some continuous function. In a classification problem, we are instead trying to predict results in a discrete output. In other words, we are trying to map input variables into discrete categories.

Unsupervised Learning

非监督学习下，主要是不清楚这些数据集能得到什么结果，也不知道变量之间的关系。单纯依靠数据去分类，得到一个一个的数据群。
1.未明晰结果模样。2.无法衡量预测的效果。
Unsupervised learning allows us to approach problems with little or no idea what our results should look like. We can derive structure from data where we don’t necessarily know the effect of the variables.
We can derive this structure by clustering the data based on relationships among the variables in the data.
With unsupervised learning there is no feedback based on the prediction results.
