Abstract

Machine Learning (ML) is the study and the usage of the mathematical algorithms which can improve their performance without the need for human interaction. These algorithms are considered as a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Machine learning algorithms use past data as input and produce new predicted values as an output. Machine learning algorithms have been used in many areas for solving an innumerable number of tasks. However, the various tasks need applying of different machine learning algorithms for obtaining maximum accuracy of the target results. In this paper, an analysis with consideration of the advantages, disadvantages, and different areas of applications in the real world are made for each of the four ML algorithm groups - supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning. After the comparative analysis is done, the ensemble methods boosting, stacking, and bagging are introduced, described, and compared. Emphasis is done on defining the accuracy of which ML algorithms can be improved and which ensemble methods can be used for that. Machine Learning algorithms combined with ensemble methods are highly competitive and provide the best results in most cases where they are applicable.
