Supervised Learning Algorithm

Definition

Supervised Learning Algorithm

A supervised learning algorithm is a learning algorithm that uses labelled training examples

$$(x,y)\in \mathcal{X}\times \mathcal{Y}$$

to select a hypothesis

$$h:\mathcal{X}\to \mathcal{Y}h\in \mathcal{H}$$

from a hypothesis class $\mathcal{H}$.

The goal is for the selected hypothesis to predict the correct label for previously unseen instances.
