  • Supervised Learning: Training models with labeled data.
  • Unsupervised Learning: Identifying patterns in unlabeled data.
  • Reinforcement Learning: Learning through trial and error to achieve goals.
• Advanced Learning Techniques:
  • Meta-Learning: Teaching models to learn how to learn.
  • Self-Supervised Learning: Leveraging unlabeled data by generating supervision signals.
• Core AI Models:
  • Large Language Models (LLMs): Models trained on vast text datasets for language understanding and generation.
  • Foundation Models: Versatile, general-purpose models pre-trained on large datasets, designed for standalone use or as a foundation for specialized AI applications.
