You're describing supervised learning. Reinforcement learning is more like you stick random things in your mouth, and if one tastes good, you learn to stick that kind of thing in your mouth more often.
- daveguy 11y agoWell, yes, I was describing supervised learning (as what doesn't happen) where labels are not present is unsupervised (which makes things much more difficult). Reinforcement is more like a special case between supervised and unsupervised. Difficult like unsupervised because the labels aren't known, but with some feedback that is not a direct answer. Sorry for the confusion. There is very little in the way of purely unsupervised learning. I think the distinction between unsupervised and reinforcement is not very well defined. I would argue that even a "pure" unsupervised algorithm like k-means has a kind of reinforcement in the group means.
