Machine Learning Algorithm Cheat sheet

The Azure Machine Learning Algorithm Cheat Sheet helps you choose the right algorithm from the designer for a predictive analytics model.

Azure Machine Learning has a large library of algorithms from the classification, recommender systems, clustering, anomaly detection, regression, and text analytics families. Each is designed to address a different type of machine learning problem.

Start in the large blue box, “What do you want to do?” Then follow the lines out to match what you would like to solve. For example, maybe you have some data and you want to predict whether a customer will purchase or not. You want to predict “Will Purchase” or “Will Not Purchase”. Thus you are trying to predict between two categories. Here is how you work through the diagram.

1. Start at “What do you want to do?”
2. Follow the thin blue line labeled “Predict between two categories”
3. Arrive at the Two-Class Classification box
4. Choose from the algorithms in the box
