Regression, Classification, and Clustering

The three workhorse ML techniques and how to pick the right one for a use case, using the shape of the answer you need: a number, a category, or a set of natural groups.

Beginner 16 minutes 4 Learning Objectives
  1. Match a use case to regression, classification, or clustering by the shape of the answer it needs
  2. Distinguish regression from classification even when the same subject can be framed either way
  3. Explain when clustering fits: no labels exist and you want to discover groups
  4. Avoid the common traps of confusing a number with a category and a known label with a discovered group
