Supervised and Unsupervised Learning are two primary types of machine learning, differing mainly in hThe primary goal of a data science project is to extract actionable insights from data to support better decision-making, predictions, or automation—ultimately solving a specific business or real-world problem.

Machine learning is used for predictions by using algorithms to find patterns in historical data and then applying those learned patterns to new data to forecast future outcomes. This is a core function of many machine learning models, particularly those in the supervised learning category.

There are two main types of predictions machine learning models make:

Classification

Classification models are used to predict a discrete category or class. The model is trained on a labeled dataset where it learns to assign a new data point to one of a few possible categories.

• Example: Predicting whether an email is "spam" or "not spam." The model is trained on thousands of labeled emails and learns to identify features that correlate with spam. When a new email arrives, the model uses these patterns to predict its category.

• Algorithms: Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, and Support Vector Machines (SVM).

Regression

Regression models are used to predict a continuous numerical value. The model is trained on data with known numerical outputs and learns the relationship between the input variables and the output variable.

• Example: Predicting a house price. The model analyzes historical data of house prices along with features like square footage, number of bedrooms, and location. It learns how these features influence the price, allowing it to predict a specific price for a new house.

• Algorithms: Linear Regression, and Random Forest.

In both cases, the process involves training a model on historical data, validating its performance, and then deploying it to make predictions on new, unseen data.
