This section title and contents seem pretty much random to me. How are contents chosen? One regression, one random clustering algorithm, 4 standard classificators; but no decision tree; which is probably the grandfather of all classificators. -- Chire ( talk) 12:41, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
In general, one may argue that k-means is NOT machine learning, but plain old statistics. And clustering is at most a step child of the machine learning world; it's a data mining / knowledge discovery domain, just like outlier detection and freuqent itemset mining. If you look at the communities, I would not call data mining part of machine learning either; it's living in parallel (unfortunately). Machine learners don't get or like unsupervised methods, actually. The "theory" section in this template is also pretty random, isn't it? -- Chire ( talk) 12:45, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Hidden Markov Models (HMM) has successfully been used (there are dozens are articles, just do a Google scholar search) where HMM have been used for NLP amongst other Machine learning tasks. I believe it should be added as one of the models. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.223.128 ( talk) 19:12, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
there are simply two general approaches to solve the same problem, supervised and unsupervised -- but the problem is one and the same. Fgnievinski ( talk) 23:55, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Seems confusing for an outsider to call it 'supervised learning' but then not talk about unsupervised learning or reenforcement ? Not sure what the best approach here would be, since clustering is (in some way) unsupervised learning -- would a rename be warranted? Perhaps worth renaming to "Unsupervised Learning / Clustering" ?

How about adding list of datasets for machine learning research to the bar? Any thoughts on this? -- Datakeeper ( talk) 19:04, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
Is there a way to make this template have collapsable sections? It's pretty large and a little unwieldy to put on pages. -- Datakeeper ( talk) 21:15, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
I see this all over the place as intro diagram and it is not helpful. Diagrams about the topic instead of machine learning template on every subtopic would be better. Daniel.Cardenas ( talk) 23:03, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
Per WP:NAVBOX: "The collection of articles in a sidebar template should be fairly tightly related... If the articles are not tightly related, a footer template (a navbox, located at the bottom of the article) may be more appropriate.". This definitely applies here. I cannot see this template being much use to anybody for navigation, and certainly not one of the first things a reader will look for on arriving on an article. I think conversion to a footer would be ideal. Bigbluefish ( talk) 10:18, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
@ Snus-kin: Hi, template image now is
File:Multi-Layer_Neural_Network-Vector-Blank.svg
I think this image is not conveying any helpful information about the concept of "Machine Learning". I proposed to use this image:
File:Machine Learning Icon.jpg
which is now reverted, but this image is part of the cover of this book: https://books.google.com/books?id=Ex8_tAEACAAJ&source=gbs_book_other_versions , it is a robot that is graduated from some knowledge course. However, existing template image, which is a graph (neural networks), is not suitable for this purpose and a regular person does not understand "Machine Learning" or "Data Mining" from it. @ Qwertyus: Any idea? Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh ( talk) 08:15, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
