Data Types Explained — Structured, Unstructured & Time-Series for ML | Master AI & ML M2:E7

The type of data you have determines which ML algorithms you can use, how you preprocess it, and how much of it you need. In this episode we build the complete data type taxonomy — structured, unstructured, semi-structured, time-series, and multimodal — with real examples and a decision framework for any new dataset.

In this episode:
→ Structured data — rows, columns, schema, and classical ML territory
→ Unstructured data — images, audio, text, and why deep learning dominates here
→ Semi-structured data — JSON, XML, logs — the real-world default
→ Time-series data — when order is everything and why you can't random-split
→ Multimodal data — combining types for complex real-world problems
→ A decision framework: what type is your data and what does that mean for ML?

This is Episode 7 of Master AI & Machine Learning — Module 2: Data Essentials.
