==Introduction==
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that seeks to develop algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to perform tasks without explicit programming. Training plays an integral role in this process, as it enables the algorithm to learn from data and make predictions based on patterns it detects. In this article, we'll examine training in machine learning in depth - its purpose, different types of training, and its role within it.
In [[machine learning]], [[training]] enables the [[model]] to learn from [[data]]. The goal of training a model is to determine the optimal [[parameters]] ([[weights]] and [[biases]]) for the model so it can [[accurate]]ly make predictions when presented with new data.


==Purpose of Training==
==Purpose of Training==
Training in machine learning is the primary goal of this process, which allows the algorithm to learn from data provided. This involves discovering patterns and relationships amongst the data which can be used for making predictions about unseen information. Training allows the algorithm to generalize from what it has seen so that it can accurately make predictions even when presented with unknown variables.

Machine learning employs various types of training, such as [[supervised learning]], [[unsupervised learning]], [[semi-supervised learning]] and [[reinforcement learning]].


===Supervised Learning==
===Supervised Learning===
Supervised learning is the most common type of machine learning training. This method involves providing the algorithm with a labeled dataset, in which each data point has an assigned class label. The algorithm then utilizes this labeled data to learn relationships between features in the data and their corresponding labels. Ultimately, supervised learning aims to build a model capable of accurately predicting labels for new, unseen data sets.

===Unsupervised Learning==
===Unsupervised Learning===
Unsupervised learning is a type of machine-learning training in which an algorithm is given data that has not yet been labeled. The objective is for this type of algorithm to discover patterns and relationships without the assistance of labeled information. Unsupervised learning is often employed for clustering and dimensionality reduction tasks, as it allows the computer to recognize structure within data that may otherwise go undetected.

Unsupervised learning is often employed for [[clustering]] and [[dimensionality reduction]] tasks, as it allows the computer to recognize structure within data that may otherwise go undetected.


===Semi-Supervised Learning==
===Semi-Supervised Learning===
Semi-supervised learning is a type of training that incorporates elements from both supervised and unsupervised learning methods. In this type of scenario, an algorithm receives some labeled data but most of it remains unlabeled. The algorithm then utilizes this labeled information to direct its learning process and make predictions about unlabeled data.

===Reinforcement Learning==
===Reinforcement Learning===
Reinforcement learning is a type of training in which an algorithm learns from its own actions and the outcomes. In reinforcement learning, an algorithm is given an environment and set of actions it can take within that environment; then it learns which actions produce the most favorable outcomes based on feedback from its environment.

Sure! Picture having a big box of crayons and wanting to teach a robot how to color. Since the robot doesn't know how yet, you must demonstrate for it.

Take out one crayon at a time and show the robot what color it is. Let them try to color with it - it may not match exactly, but that's okay; with some help from you, each time becomes better at coloring.

Similar to teaching a robot to draw, providing examples and encouraging it to learn from them is similar. The more examples you give it, the better at coloring on its own.
Training a machine learning model is kind of like training a robot. You give it some [[examples]], and it tries to learn from them. The more examples you give it, the better it gets at coloring on its own.


Just like with coloring, robots have many skills they can master. Some robots learn to recognize objects in pictures, some play games and some even write stories like me!
