What is the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning?

What is the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning?

Supervised learning uses labeled data to train models, while unsupervised learning finds patterns in unlabeled data.

Can you give me examples of each type?

Sure! An example of supervised learning is email spam detection, while clustering customers based on purchasing behavior is unsupervised.

Which one is better for predictive analytics?

Supervised learning is generally better for predictive analytics since it relies on labeled data to make accurate predictions.

Are there any scenarios where unsupervised learning is preferred?

Yes, unsupervised learning is preferred when you want to explore data without predefined labels, like market segmentation.
