A Tour of Machine Learning Algorithms

Last Updated on August 14, 2020

In this post, we will take a tour of the most popular machine learning algorithms.

It is useful to tour the main algorithms in the field to get a feeling of what methods are available.

There are so many algorithms that it can feel overwhelming when algorithm names are thrown around and you are expected to just know what they are and where they fit.

I want to give you two ways to think about and categorize the algorithms you may come across in the field.

• The first is a grouping of algorithms by their learning style.
• The second is a grouping of algorithms by their similarity in form or function (like grouping similar animals together).

Both approaches are useful, but we will focus in on the grouping of algorithms by similarity and go on a tour of a variety of different algorithm types.

After reading this post, you will have a much better understanding of the most popular machine learning algorithms for supervised learning and how they are related.
