Use supervised learning trained on verified category: Which approach best fits?
Predefined categories and verified labels make supervised learning the directly suitable approach.
The question
A financial-document processor must classify invoices into categories, and 20,000 historical documents already have verified category labels. The categories are defined in advance and auditability requires measuring classification errors. Which approach best fits?

- Use supervised learning trained on verified category labels. ✓Supervised learning directly uses labeled examples to learn predefined categories and supports evaluation against known classification outcomes.
- Use an unsupervised embedding model and assign categories afterward.Embeddings may support exploration, but post hoc assignment does not exploit labels as directly or evaluate classification as clearly.
- Use clustering to discover natural document groupings.Clustering discovers structure without using the available verified labels, making it less suited to predefined categories and measured errors.
- Use reinforcement learning from reviewer reward feedback.Reward feedback can guide sequential behavior, but predefined labeled classification is more directly addressed by supervised learning here.
The trap
Predefined outcomes plus labeled examples point to supervised learning. How to remember it
