An Overview of Supervised Machine Learning Paradigms and their Classifiers

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the theory and development of computer systems capable of performing complex tasks that historically requires human intelligence such as recognizing speech, making decisions and identifying patterns. These tasks cannot be accomplished without the ability of the systems to learn. Machine learning is the ability of machines to learn from their past experiences. Just like humans, when machines learn under supervision, it is termed supervised learning. In this work, an in-depth knowledge on machine learning was expounded. Relevant literatures were reviewed with the aim of presenting the different types of supervised machine learning paradigms, their categories and classifiers.
