Supervised Machine Learning
Supervised learning is the types of machine learning in which machines are trained using well
"labelled" training data, and on basis of that data, machines predict the output. The labelled data
means some input data is already tagged with the correct output.
In supervised learning, the training data provided to the machines work as the supervisor that
teaches the machines to predict the output correctly. It applies the same concept as a student learns
in the supervision of the teacher.
Supervised learning is a process of providing input data as well as correct output data to the
machine learning model. The aim of a supervised learning algorithm is to find a mapping function
to map the input variable(x) with the output variable(y).
In the real-world, supervised learning can be used for Risk Assessment, Image classification,
Fraud Detection, spam filtering, etc.
How Supervised Learning Works?
In supervised learning, models are trained using labelled dataset, where the model learns about
each type of data. Once the training process is completed, the model is tested on the basis of test
data (a subset of the training set), and then it predicts the output.
The working of Supervised learning can be easily understood by the below example and diagram:
Suppose we have a dataset of different types of shapes which includes square, rectangle, triangle,
and Polygon. Now the first step is that we need to train the model for each shape.
If the given shape has four sides, and all the sides are equal, then it will be labelled as a
Square.
If the given shape has three sides, then it will be labelled as a triangle.
If the given shape has six equal sides then it will be labelled as hexagon.
Now, after training, we test our model using the test set, and the task of the model is to identify the
shape.
The machine is already trained on all types of shapes, and when it finds a new shape, it classifies the
shape on the bases of a number of sides, and predicts the output.
Steps Involved in Supervised Learning:
First Determine the type of training dataset
Collect/Gather the labelled training data.
Split the training dataset into training dataset, test dataset, and validation dataset.
Determine the input features of the training dataset, which should have enough knowledge
so that the model can accurately predict the output.
Determine the suitable algorithm for the model, such as support vector machine, decision
tree, etc.
Execute the algorithm on the training dataset. Sometimes we need validation sets as the
control parameters, which are the subset of training datasets.
Evaluate the accuracy of the model by providing the test set. If the model predicts the correct
output, which means our model is accurate.

Types of supervised Machine learning Algorithms:
Supervised learning can be further divided into two types of problems:
1. Regression
Regression algorithms are used if there is a relationship between the input variable and the output
variable. It is used for the prediction of continuous variables, such as Weather forecasting, Market
Trends, etc. Below are some popular Regression algorithms which come under supervised learning:
Linear Regression
Regression Trees
Non-Linear Regression
Bayesian Linear Regression
Polynomial Regression
2. Classification
Classification algorithms are used when the output variable is categorical, which means there are
two classes such as Yes-No, Male-Female, True-false, etc.
Spam Filtering,
Random Forest
Decision Trees
Logistic Regression
Support vector Machines
Note: We will discuss these algorithms in detail in later chapters.
Advantages of Supervised learning:
With the help of supervised learning, the model can predict the output on the basis of prior
experiences.
In supervised learning, we can have an exact idea about the classes of objects.
Supervised learning model helps us to solve various real-world problems such as fraud
detection, spam filtering, etc.
Disadvantages of supervised learning:
Supervised learning models are not suitable for handling the complex tasks.
Supervised learning cannot predict the correct output if the test data is different from the
training dataset.
Training required lots of computation times.
In supervised learning, we need enough knowledge about the classes of object.
