4 stops · basics first
  1. Machine Learning ✓ understood

    Building systems that learn patterns from data instead of following hand-written rules, getting better at a task as they see more examples.

  2. Supervised Learning ✓ understood

    Learning from examples paired with the correct answer, so a model can predict answers for new inputs it hasn't seen.

  3. Reinforcement Learning ✓ understood

    Learning through interaction with an environment, receiving rewards or penalties to learn optimal behavior policies.

  4. Imitation Learning ✓ understood

    Learning policies by mimicking expert behavior from demonstrations.
