Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In supervised learning, the model is trained on a labeled dataset, which means that each example in the training set is paired with the correct output. The model learns from these examples to make predictions or decisions, based on new, unseen data. The target variable, or what we are trying to predict or classify, is known beforehand, which is not the case in unsupervised learning where the goal is to explore the structure of the data without predefined labels.
