The syllabus defines clustering as:

“Clustering: This is when the problem requires the identification of similarities in input data points that allows them to be grouped based on common characteristics or attributes. For example, clustering is used to categorize different types of customers for the purpose of marketing.”

(Reference: ISTQB CT-AI Syllabus v1.0, Section 3.1.2, page 26 of 99)

Recognizing digits from a scan of handwritten numbers using machine learning is an example of classification. Here’s a breakdown:

Classification: This type of machine learning involves categorizing input data into predefined classes. In this scenario, the input data (handwritten digits) are classified into one of the 10 digit classes (0-9).

Why Not Other Options:

Reinforcement Learning: This involves learning by interacting with an environment to achieve a goal, which does not fit the problem of recognizing digits.

Regression: This is used for predicting continuous values, not discrete categories like digit recognition.

Clustering: This involves grouping similar data points together without predefined classes, which is not the case here.

Decision trees are a foundational algorithm used in supervised machine learning. The syllabus describes:

"A decision tree is a tree-like ML model whose nodes represent decisions and whose branches represent possible outcomes."
