• supervised learning—The training data consists of a set of inputs, each paired with a set of correct outputs.

• unsupervised learning—Uses data sets that do not have any labels and uses data features.

• reinforced learning—The algorithm is trained by rewarding the system if it performs correctly and penalizing it if it does not.

• deep learning—It does not require structured data but instead uses artificial neural networks.
