Machine learning algorithms are the methods models use to learn from data. This visual guide tours key algorithms — linear and logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, SVM, K-means — and how to choose the right one.

The algorithm shapes how a model learns.

Choose based on whether you have labels.

Predict numbers with a straight line.

Predict class probabilities.

Yes/no splits lead to predictions.

Many trees vote for better accuracy.

Build trees that fix prior errors (XGBoost).

Classify by closest examples.

Find the best separating boundary.

Fast classification using probabilities.

Group unlabeled data into clusters.

Reduce features while keeping information.

Layers learn complex patterns.

Combine models for better results.

Balance simplicity and flexibility.

Adjust settings to improve models.

Depends on data, size, and goal.

Simple models are easier to explain.

No single algorithm wins everywhere.
