Three Kinds of Machine Learning

Guest Written By Rebecca Njeri Last Thursday, I attended the machinery.ai After about 1.5 years of learning and practising data science, this conference reminded me of the things that intrigued me when I first started learning data science, and I thought that I should write a post explaining the three different groups of machine learning algorithms. Machine Learning can be defined as the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. It can be further divided into three broad categories: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. A machine learning model should be chosen depending on the nature of the data available as will be illustrated below.
