A finite sequence of instructions that solves a problem or performs a task.
Definition
An algorithm is a finite, well-defined sequence of instructions that solves a problem or performs a task. In AI, algorithms are the recipes by which computers learn from data, recognize patterns, or make decisions. Training algorithms like gradient descent adjust a model's parameters step by step until errors are minimized.
