Unsupervised learning

English

Noun

unsupervised learning

A machine-learning approach in which an AI system is trained on a dataset that has not been labeled by people, usually to identify patterns, structures, or groupings in data without a specific, known output in mind.

• For example, a model may analyze a large, unlabeled dataset of photos containing horses and zebras. Without being told what a zebra is, the AI may discover patterns on its own, such as striped or solid appearances, and cluster images with similar features together.
