Supervised learning

Supervised learning is a type of machine learning where a model is trained on labeled data to learn the mapping between input features and corresponding outputs. The goal is to enable the model to make accurate predictions or classifications on unseen data by minimizing the error between its predictions and the true labels. Common tasks include regression (predicting continuous values) and classification (assigning categories). Supervised learning relies on a training dataset with known inputs and outputs and evaluates performance using a separate test dataset. Examples include spam email detection, image recognition, and speech-to-text systems.
