Do you want to build a machine learning model? Don’t know what Dataset is? Confused about which type of dataset to be used while building the model? (New to ML? Read our Machine Learning Introduction . ) Then let’s get started with the quick guide to machine learning datasets. What is a Machine Learning(ML) Dataset? Dataset as the name says its a set of data. Dataset is a collection of data that is treated as a single unit for doing analytics and predictions . The dataset used in Machine learning problems can be a population or sample dataset. Most of the time the dataset used in machine learning is a sample dataset. Based on the patterns identified from this dataset the model makes predictions. Once the model is trained it is tested for accuracy and we look for the model working with the test dataset. Example: Let us consider the test scores dataset of a student. Subject Marked obtained Performance Level En...
