Introduction
What is Supervised Learning
Supervised learning is a category of machine learning that uses
labeled datasets to train algorithms to predict outcomes and
recognize patterns.
Supervised machine learning algorithms make it easier for
organizations to create complex models that can make accurate
predictions. As a result, they are widely used across various industries
and fields, including healthcare, marketing, financial services, and
more.
