Q

What is supervised learning?

A

A type of machine learning where the model is trained on labeled data, meaning the input comes with the correct output already known.

An example is training a model to recognize cats in photos, where each photo is labeled as ‘cat’ or ‘not cat’.

Q

What is unsupervised learning?

A

A type of machine learning where the model learns from unlabeled data, discovering patterns or structures without explicit instructions.

Clustering customers based on purchasing behavior is an example of unsupervised learning.

Q

True or False:

In supervised learning, data is unlabeled.

A

False

Q

What is reinforcement learning?

A

A type of learning where an agent learns to make decisions by taking actions in an environment to maximize cumulative reward.

Think of teaching a dog tricks by rewarding it with treats for good behavior.

Q

What is symbolic AI?

A

An approach to AI that uses explicit, human-readable symbols and rules to represent knowledge and reasoning processes.

Early AI systems like expert systems heavily relied on symbolic AI.

Q

How does symbolic AI differ from machine learning?

A
  • Symbolic AI uses predefined rules and logic.
  • Machine learning relies on data-driven learning to make predictions or decisions.

Q

True or False:

Hybrid AI systems can only use machine learning and reinforcement learning.

A

False

Hybrid AI systems can combine multiple approaches, including machine learning, rule-based systems, and reinforcement learning—not just two methods.
