Written question 10Cloud & Emerging Tech

(a) Differentiate between supervised and unsupervised learning.

Model answer

Supervised learning trains a model on labeled data (input-output pairs) so it learns a mapping from inputs to known outputs. Unsupervised learning trains on unlabeled data and finds hidden structure or groupings on its own.

Aspect Supervised Learning Unsupervised Learning
Training data Labeled (input + correct output) Unlabeled (input only)
Goal Learn a mapping f(x) → y to predict labels Discover structure, patterns, or groupings
Feedback Explicit error signal (loss vs true label) No explicit error signal
Typical tasks Classification, regression Clustering, dimensionality reduction, association
Example algorithms Linear/Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, SVM, Neural Networks K-Means, Hierarchical Clustering, PCA, Apriori
Example use-case Spam vs not-spam email classification Customer segmentation from purchase history
Evaluation Accuracy, precision/recall, RMSE against known labels Silhouette score, inertia — no ground truth to compare

Exam takeaway: Supervised = "learn from an answer key"; Unsupervised = "find the pattern with no answer key." Semi-supervised and reinforcement learning are related but distinct paradigms.
