In machine learning, labels or annotations are the parts of the training data set that indicate the desired ideal output of the model for a corresponding input datum for training purposes. In a broader sense, the actual outputs of a model in operation are also referred to in this way.

NOTE: Supervised learning uses labelled data; semi-supervised learning uses labels for a portion of the training data (the remaining training data are not labelled); unsupervised learning is based on training data that are not labelled.
