Supervised Learning

• Generalization ability

• Tasks of class classification and regression

  • Class classification tasks can be divided into binary classification and multi-class classification
    • For example, yes/no or a/b/c/d/e
  • Regression tasks involve predicting continuous values
    • For example, age or income
  • For instance, when guessing the language of a sentence, there is no intermediate between English and French
  • When estimating age, 40 and 41 are similar, and there may be some margin of error

• Pay attention to overfitting during the learning process

  • Find the sweet spot

• Intuition from low-dimensional information sets may not apply to high-dimensional ones
