3. Co e Machine Lea ning App oaches
Machine Lea ning echniques a e b oadly classi ied in o
supe ised, unsupe ised, and ein o cemen lea ning. Each
app oach se es unique pu poses and applica ions.
3.1 Supe ised Lea ning
In supe ised lea ning, models a e ained on labeled

4.5 Na u al Language P ocessing (NLP)
NLP enables cha bo s, ansla ion, sen imen analysis, and
documen summa iza ion using models like BERT and
GPT.
5. Challenges in Da a Science and ML
▪ Da a Quali y and A ailabili y – Incomple e o biased
da a can deg ade model pe o mance.
▪ O e i ing s Unde i ing – Balancing complexi y and
gene aliza ion is c i ical.
▪ In e p e abili y – Deep lea ning models o en ac as
black boxes.
▪ E hics and Bias – Unchecked models may ein o ce
socie al inequali ies.
▪ Scalabili y – T aining la ge models equi es immense
compu a ional esou ces.
6. Fu u e Di ec ions
