Machine Learning (ML)

Definition

The study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience and by the use of data.

Deep Dive

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that empowers computer systems to learn and improve automatically from data without being explicitly programmed for every possible scenario. At its core, ML involves developing algorithms that can identify patterns, make predictions, or take actions based on historical data. This learning process allows models to generalize from observed examples to new, unseen data, forming the backbone of predictive analytics and intelligent automation across various industries.
