Some progress of supervised learning

Abstract

Supervised learning is very important in machine learning. In this paper we discuss some progress of supervised learning. At first, we introduce the basic concept and methods of supervised learning; then explain several typical algorithms of supervised learning in details, the algorithms covered are Bayesian networks, decision tree, k-nearest neighbor, supervised manifold learning and support vector machines; at last we point out several developing directions of supervised learning. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
