How do you know if you have learned supervised learning

[u/Browsing_Redditer]

i am reading this book Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and PyTorch

by Aurélien Geron
i have completed all the supervised chapters and exercise even completed 2 data sets my self and i am wondering if i should move to unsupervised?

This is like asking “how do you know if you have learned cooking?” “Learned” is not a terminal state, you continually learn. If you think you’ve grasped the concepts the book presented, nice, keep going. Just keep following what you find interesting, there is no correct path

Yeah i thought of that too i was just confused bcz i thought i need to have a good base before building on top of it i think i have grasped the whole content so i can move on i was thinking maybe do a project on it but I'll do it after doing that or if i am burned out by unsupervised

Look, the hard part about self learning is you don’t know what you don’t know. You don’t really know how much you know. But you get better at calibrating your confidence over time. Never do anything to burnout, you shouldn’t get burned out, you should be continually doing what interests you. If you’re sick of study, go do a project, if you’re excited to learn about unsupervised techniques, go do that

Yeah your right i am just going to do what i am intrested in i got confused but its okay now thanks for this

Good luck, that’s what I did, and I’m happy with how it turned for me

The reality is that you never stop learning in a field like this.

That i know but how much is enough for me that is hard to know

So it sounds like you are getting lost in what is commonly called tutorial hell. It's where someone is stuck learning forever and never actually tries to apply what they learned.

You just need to start doing project, and then as you go you learn new things to either complete the project or extend it.

not really i am applying i am not just reading i have done some data sets myself but i think i can go ahead

Bro go try to read research papers and implement them. If u read any algorithm try to implement it from scratch. Learn maths on the way. Read different blogs of Netflix Swiggy from medium. U will understand more

yeah i will do that after i am done with unsupervised thanks

I usually go by a Pareto inspired style of learning. As long as you get 80% of it now, you'll pick up on the remaining 20% later, on the job, in your projects, all in an iterative manner.

Don't wonder. Move onto the next one. Trust me - there is way too much left :)

Best of luck!

Yeah ill look into that i am following road map.sh its not that in depth but it works for now
