Supervised Learning

Fact

A way to train AI with examples that already have correct answers.

In Plain Words

Supervised learning is homework with the answer key open. If the AI calls a muffin a cat, the key says, “Nice try, robot.”

It helps AI sort email. It can also spot faces or predict sales.

SSL
Supervised Learning uses human labels, while SSL learns from the data itself.

Fine-tuning
Fine-tuning often uses labeled data to teach a model a specific task.

Backpropagation
Supervised Learning often uses Backprop to change the model after errors.

RL
Supervised Learning learns from correct answers, while RL learns from rewards.
