Supervised Machine Learning

Supervised learning is the type of machine learning in which machines are

trained using well "labelled" training data, and on basis of that data, machines
predict the output. The labelled data means some input data is already tagged with
the correct output.

In supervised learning, the training data provided to the machines work as the
supervisor that teaches the machines to predict the output correctly. It applies the
same concept as a student learns in the supervision of the teacher.

Supervised learning is a process of providing input data as well as correct output

data to the machine learning model. The aim of a supervised learning algorithm is
to find a mapping function to map the input variable(x) with the output variable(y).

How Supervised Learning Works?

In supervised learning, models are trained using labelled dataset, where the
model learns about each type of data. Once the training process is completed, the
model is tested on the basis of test data (a subset of the training set), and then it
predicts the output.

Learning
Suppose we have a dataset of different types of shapes which includes square,
rectangle, triangle, and Polygon. Now the first step is that we need to train the
model for each shape.

If the given shape has four sides, and all the sides are equal, then it will be
labelled as a Square.

If the given shape has three sides, then it will be labelled as a triangle.

If the given shape has six equal sides then it will be labelled as hexagon.

Now, after training, we test our model using the test set, and the task of the
model is to identify the shape.

The machine is already trained on all types of shapes, and when it finds a new
shape, it classifies the shape on the bases of a number of sides, and predicts the
output.

Steps Involved in Supervised Learning:

First Determine the type of training dataset
Collect/Gather the labelled training data.
Split the training dataset into training dataset, test dataset, and validation
dataset.
Determine the input features of the training dataset, which should have enough
knowledge so that the model can accurately predict the output.
Determine the suitable algorithm for the model, such as support vector
machine, decision tree, etc.
Execute the algorithm on the training dataset. Sometimes we need validation
sets as the control parameters, which are the subset of training datasets.
Evaluate the accuracy of the model by providing the test set. If the model
predicts the correct output, which means our model is accurate

Types of supervised Machine learning Algorithms:

Supervised learning can be further divided into two types of problems:

Regression algorithms are used if there is a relationship between the input

variable and the output variable. It is used for the prediction of continuous
variables, such as Weather forecasting, Market Trends, etc. Below are some
popular Regression algorithms which come under supervised learning:
Linear Regression
Regression Trees
Non-Linear Regression
Bayesian Linear Regression
Polynomial Regression

2. Classification:

Classification algorithms are used when the output variable is categorical, which
means there are two classes such as Yes-No, Male-Female, True-false, etc.

Spam Filtering,

Random Forest

Decision Trees

Logistic Regression

Support vector Machines

Advantages of Supervised learning:

With the help of supervised learning, the model can predict the output on the
basis of prior experiences.

In supervised learning, we can have an exact idea about the classes of objects.

Supervised learning model helps us to solve various real-world problems such

as fraud detection, spam filtering, etc

Disadvantages of supervised learning:

Supervised learning models are not suitable for handling the complex tasks.

Supervised learning cannot predict the correct output if the test data is different
from the training dataset.

Training required lots of computation times.

In supervised learning, we need enough knowledge about the classes of object.
