Supervised Learning
Supervised learning is a machine learning technique where a Example-based learning is a type of supervised learning
model learns from labeled data to make predictions or where the model learns by comparing new examples to
decisions. examples it has seen before.

In example-based learning, the labeled data serves as For example, in image classification, the model learns to

Multi-layered Complex Tasks

• Artificial neural networks are developed to tackle complex

tasks by utilizing multiple layers.
• These networks consist of interconnected nodes called
neurons that mimic the human brain's structure.
• Each layer in the network is responsible for processing specific
features and extracting relevant information.
• Deep learning with multiple layers allows the network to learn
hierarchical representations and solve intricate problems.
