Assignment: Explain the differences between the two main types of machine learning methods
I. Supervised and Unsupervised learning: Explain the differences between the two main types of machine learning methods. What are the main categories of each learning method?
II. Artificial Neural Nets: Describe how artificial neural nets (ANNs) use supervised learning to predict outcomes in decision-making. How are ANNs employed as data analysis tools for forecasting in the realm of managerial decision support?
III. Real-world Examples: Provide a real-world example of each type of learning and explain how each method is applied in each of your examples. You should discuss one example of supervised learning and one example of unsupervised learning in this section of the essay.
Answer all the above questions
Using APA 6th edition style standards, submit a Word document that is 5 pages in length including title page, references, and appendices and include at least two credible scholarly references.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
