6. Machine Learning Algorithms -- Python 3: from None to Machine Learning

Algorithms are often grouped by similarity in terms of their function (how they work). For example, tree-based methods, and neural network inspired methods. I think this is the most useful way to group algorithms and it is the approach we will use here. This is a useful grouping method, but it is not perfect. There are still algorithms that could just as easily fit into multiple categories like Learning Vector Quantization that is both a neural network inspired method and an instance-based method.
