unsupervised

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Unsupervised' refers to actions performed without oversight or instruction. You're neither monitored nor guided by someone else and are allowed to act or think independently, like studying on your own for an exam.

Examples in Different Contexts

In business analytics, 'unsupervised' learning methods help in discovering unknown patterns in data. A business analyst might note, 'By applying unsupervised learning, we can unearth previously unknown trends and relationships within our business data, guiding more nuanced and informed business strategies.'
