Supervised learningSupervised learning algorithm learns from labelled examples to train a model to predict future outcomes with high accuracyRandom forests, support vector machines, artificial neural networksClassification, regression, sequence labellingPredict treatment responses based on genomic profiles, aid in therapy selectionNasteski et al[27]
Unsupervised learningUnsupervised machine learning discerns patterns in unlabelled datasets to predict relationships and meaningful patternsK-means clustering, principal component analysisClustering, dimensionality reductionIdentify patterns and relationships within patient data for treatment planning and prognostic analysesGhahramani[28]
Reinforcement learningReinforcement learning integrates user feedback to refine decision-making, enhancing the model's performanceQ-learning, Policy gradientsSequential decision makingOptimize treatment selection by maximizing cumulative rewards over timeSutton et al[29]
