Classification and Prediction Overview

The document discusses the concepts of supervised and unsupervised learning, highlighting that supervised learning involves labeled training data for classification, while unsupervised learning focuses on clustering without known labels. It distinguishes between classification, which predicts categorical labels, and prediction, which estimates continuous values. Additionally, it addresses key issues in classification and prediction, such as data preparation and evaluation metrics.

SUPERVISED VS UNSUPERVISED
LEARNING

Supervised learning is also known as classification. It involves training data are accompanied by
labels indicating the class of the observations. New data is then classified based on training data
set.
Unsupervised learning is also known as clustering. In unsupervised learning, the class labels of
training data is unknown. A set of measurements or observations will be given with an aim of
establishing the existence of classes or clusters in the data.
WHAT IS CLASSIFICATION AND WHAT IS PREDICTION?

Classification predicts categorical class labels. It classifies data based on the training set and the
values in a classifying attribute and uses it in classifying new data.
Example: Bank loan categorization based on safe or risk.
Prediction models continuous valued functions. ie, predicts unknown values.
Example: Prediction of emi of a product purchased based on customer occupation and income.
ISSUES IN CLASSIFICATION AND
PREDICTION?
[Link] major issue is preparing the data for classification and prediction:

It includes data cleaning, Relevance Analysis, Data Transformation and Reduction.

2. Another issue is evaluating classification and prediction methods:

It includes Accuracy, Speed, Robustness, Scalability, Interpretability.
