unsupervised
Lacking any guidance
Unsupervised means without oversight or guidance.
An unsupervised child is left alone without adult monitoring: The kids were unsupervised for hours.
In machine learning, unsupervised learning refers to algorithms that find patterns in data without being told what to look for—no human labels or corrections guide the process.
