Supervised and unsupervised learning are two main categories of machine learning

techniques, each serving different purposes and solving different types of problems.
Here's an overview of the techniques commonly used in each category:
Supervised Learning Techniques:

1. **Linear Regression**:
- Linear regression is a supervised learning technique used for predicting a
continuous target variable based on one or more input features. It models the
relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable using a
linear function.

2. **Logistic Regression**:
- Logistic regression is used for binary classification tasks, where the target
variable has two possible outcomes. It models the probability that an instance
belongs to a particular class using the logistic function.

3. **Decision Trees**:
- Decision trees are tree-like structures used for both classification and regression
tasks. They partition the feature space into regions and make predictions based on
the majority class or the average value of the target variable within each region.

4. **Random Forests**:
- Random forests are ensemble learning techniques that combine multiple
decision trees to improve performance and reduce overfitting. They train each tree
on a random subset of the data and combine the predictions through voting or
averaging.

5. **Support Vector Machines (SVM)**:


- SVM is a powerful supervised learning algorithm used for classification and
regression tasks. It finds the hyperplane that best separates the classes in the
feature space, maximizing the margin between the classes.

6. **Neural Networks**:
- Neural networks are deep learning models consisting of interconnected layers of
neurons. They are highly flexible and can learn complex patterns in the data,
making them suitable for a wide range of tasks, including classification, regression,
and feature learning.

Unsupervised Learning Techniques:

1. **K-means Clustering**:
- K-means clustering is a popular unsupervised learning technique used for
clustering data into K distinct groups based on similarity. It iteratively assigns data
points to the nearest centroid and updates the centroids until convergence.

2. **Hierarchical Clustering**:
- Hierarchical clustering is another clustering technique that organizes data into a
tree-like hierarchy of clusters. It does not require specifying the number of clusters
in advance and can be represented as a dendrogram.

3. **Principal Component Analysis (PCA)**:


- PCA is a dimensionality reduction technique used to transform high-dimensional
data into a lower-dimensional space while preserving most of the variance. It
identifies the principal components (linear combinations of the original features)
that capture the most significant variation in the data.

4. **Association Rule Learning**:


- Association rule learning is used to discover interesting relationships or
associations between variables in large datasets. It identifies patterns such as
frequent itemsets or rules indicating co-occurrence relationships.

5. **Anomaly Detection**:
- Anomaly detection techniques identify unusual patterns or outliers in the data
that deviate from the norm. These outliers may represent errors, fraud, or rare
events that warrant further investigation.

6. **Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)**:


- GANs are a type of deep learning model used for generating new data samples
that mimic the distribution of the training data. They consist of two neural networks,
a generator and a discriminator, which are trained simultaneously in a competitive
fashion.

These are just some of the many supervised and unsupervised learning techniques
used in machine learning. Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses and is
suitable for different types of data and problem domains. Choosing the right
technique depends on factors such as the nature of the data, the task at hand, and
the desired outcome.
