Repeat

It corrects

its algorithm

to improve

its score

for its next

action

It assigns

a score

to its own

action

It assesses the

consequences

of its actions

based on

its state and

its environment

...then

performs

an action

The machine

The data in the same categories

can then be processed and

treated in a similar manner

The model receives data

without prior categorisation

Examples: video games, route

optimisation, training chatbots and

autonomous cars

Examples: customer segmentation,

recommendation systems,

image compression

It tries to group them

by similarity to

produce the most

homogeneous categories

Examples: anti-spam filters, disease

detection, image recognition

"Cat"

When provided with new data,

the AI recognises the patterns

of a known category

The model identifies

commonalities in the data

of the same category

Dog

The model is trained

on data categorised

by a human

The three types of machine learning algorithms

The model is trained based on

its own performance and

and previous results

Reinforcement learning

Unsupervised learning
