Question
If Arthur Samuel's checkers-playing program had been allowed to play only 10 games against itself, how would this have affected its performance compared to when it was allowed to play over 10,000 games?

Types of Supervised learning algorithms:
Supervised learning is when we give our learning algorithm the right answer y for each example to learn from. Which is an example of supervised learning?
For instance, emails labeled as "spam" or "not spam" are examples used for training a supervised learning algorithm. The trained algorithm will then be able to predict with some degree of accuracy whether an unseen email is spam or not.

Supervised learning is when we give our learning algorithm the right answer y for each example to learn from. Which is an example of supervised learning?
- Spam filtering.
- Calculating the average age of a group of customers.
For instance, emails labeled as "spam" or "not spam" are examples used for training a supervised learning algorithm. The trained algorithm will then be able to predict with some degree of accuracy whether an unseen email is spam or not.

Types of unsupervised learning algorithms:
- Clustering
- Anomaly detection
- Dimensionality reduction
Of the following examples, which would you address using an unsupervised learning algorithm? (Check all that apply.)
- Given a set of news articles found on the web, group them into sets of articles about the same stories.
- Given email labeled as spam/not spam, learn a spam filter.
- Given a database of customer data, automatically discover market segments and group customers into different market segments.
- Given a dataset of patients diagnosed as either having diabetes or not, learn to classify new patients as having diabetes or not.
