Supervised Learning: Learning with labeled data (e.g., regression, classification).
Unsupervised Learning: Identifying patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., clustering,
dimensionality reduction).
Reinforcement Learning: Training models to make decisions based on rewards and
penalties.
4. Key Stages in Data Science Workflow:
Data Collection
Data Cleaning and Preparation
Data Exploration and Visualization
Model Building and Evaluation
Deployment and Monitoring
