Introduction I.5 Glossary of Basic Terms

Algorithms, which develop a mathematical model from the input data and known desired outputs.

Supervised Machine Learning

a general subset of machine learning in which data, like its associated labels, is used to train models that can learn or generalize from the data to make predictions, preferably with a high degree of certainty.
