Major Types of Machine Learning Tasks

Type	Description	Example Use Case
1. Classification	Predict discrete labels (categories)	Handwritten digit recognition (0–9)
2. Regression	Predict continuous values	Predict house price from features
3. Clustering	Group similar data without labels	Customer segmentation
4. Dimensionality Reduction	Compress data while preserving structure	PCA for visualization or compression
5. Anomaly Detection	Find rare or unusual patterns	Credit card fraud detection
6. Reinforcement Learning	Learn through interaction with an environment	Training a robot or game AI
7. Generative Modeling	Create new data like images, text, audio	Text generation, image synthesis
