Predictive and Discovery-based Machine Learning

• One way to classify Machine Learning is by its purpose.
  • Prediction type: predicting what will happen in the future.
    • This involves making predictions about future data based on past data.
  • Discovery type: understanding what is happening currently.
    • This involves gaining insights from past to present data.
