Machine Learning Dataset

A Machine Learning Dataset is a dataset used in a machine learning task.

• Context:
  • It can range from being a Numerical ML Dataset to being a Categorical ML Dataset.
  • It can range from being an Unlabeled ML Dataset to being a Labeled ML Dataset.
  • It can range from being a Single-Predictor Learning Dataset (such as a univariate timeseries) to being a Multi-Predictor Learning Dataset.
  • It can be a output to a Learning Record Set Creation Task.
  • It can range from being a Training Dataset to being an Evaluation Dataset.
• Example(s):
  • a Training Dataset,
  • an Evaluation Dataset,
  • a Holdout Set.
  • a POS Learning Record Set.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a User Profile Dataset.
• See: Data Record Set, User-Interaction Data.

  • QUOTE: A data set is a collection of data used for some specific machine learning purpose. A training set is a data set that is used as input to a learning system, which analyzes it to learn a model. A test set or evaluation set is a data set containing data that are used to evaluate the model learned by a learning system. A training set may be divided further into a growing set and a pruning set. Where the training set and the test set contain disjoint sets of data, the test set is known as a holdout set.
