Supervised vs. Unsupervised Learning
https://cloud.google.com/discover/supervised-vs-unsupervised-learning
Instructions
Read this article on the differences between supervised and unsupervised machine learning. It explains how these two approaches to artificial intelligence work, what types of data they use, and what problems they are best suited to solve. Look out for the following.
Key Learning Areas
- Supervised Learning: This approach uses labeled data to train algorithms. The algorithms learn to make predictions based on this data and adjust to minimize errors.
- Unsupervised Learning: This approach uses unlabeled data. The algorithms work independently to find patterns in the data without guidance or instruction.
- Semi-Supervised Learning: This approach uses a small amount of labeled data and a larger amount of unlabeled data. An initial model is trained using the labeled data, and then it is used to predict labels for the unlabeled data. These predicted labels are then added to the labeled dataset, and the model is trained again. This process is repeated to improve the model’s performance.
Take Note
- Labeled data provides the desired output values, allowing a model to give a “correct” answer.
- Supervised learning models are good at classification and regression tasks.
- Unsupervised learning models are good at finding patterns and relationships in data.
Reflect on
- Think about the specific problem you want to solve, the data you have available, and the resources and experience you have for building and managing models.

For me, AI could lead to misconceptions among marginalized or grassroots communities if the concept is not explained properly and clearly. There is a need to understand that AI is our partner and not a replacement for workers. It’s just like humans and AI teaming up as partners.

Agreed Lean. This (mis)understanding is there. However, some of the ‘human’ jobs can be replaced by AI to make the whole system efficient, as I think. Great topic for discussion!!

Lean and Chalinda, yes ! A great Topic for a fruitful discussion. In my view using AI is super fast and easy yes, but as everything else we need to enjoy this freedom with responsibility. AI I think is a good assistant but definitely NOT the boss for human brain!
