Supervised

- labeled (desired solution) data is fed into the algorithm. The training data set has inputs as well as the desired output. During the training session, the model will adjust its variables to map inputs to the corresponding output.

• Deep Belief Network (DBN)

Unsupervised

- there is not a target outcome. The algorithms will cluster the data set for different groups. Some uses of Unsupervised Learning are (1) data compression, (2) classification, (3) clustering, and (4) outlier detection

Unsupervised: Probabilistic/Generative

- a probability distribution over a set of classes for each input sample. Unlabeled data is classified as (1) conditional probability of the target Y, or (2) conditional probability of the observable X given a target Y

Competitive

Unsupervised: Non-Probabilistic; e.g. Deterministic

- unlabeled data is fed into the algorithm with the algorithm seperating the feature space and return the class associated with the space where a sample originates from.

• Autoencoder (AE) / Encoder-Decoder
• (Stacked) Denoising Autoencoder (DAE)
• Sparse Autoencoder (SAE)

Semi-Supervised

• Semi-Supervised Learning with Generative Adversarial Network (SSL-GAN)
• Context-Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CC-GAN)

Reinforcement Learning (RL)

- an algorithm receives a delayed reward in the next time step to evaluate its previous action. Therefore based on those decisions, the algorithm will train itself based on the success/error of output. In combination with Neural Networks it is capable of solving more complex tasks.
