Machine Learning Algorithms for Classification - KDnuggets

There are many types of algorithms you can use, so it can be quite overwhelming which one to choose and which one is the right fit for your task. A good way to distinguish between the different types of algorithms is through their type of learning and the task at hand. I will be going through different types of classification algorithms. But first, let's understand the different types of learning within Machine Learning. Supervised Learning is when the algorithm learns on a labeled dataset and analyses the training data.
