Machine Learning (ML)
Branch of AI where computers learn from data instead of being explicitly programmed.
Definition
Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of AI where computers learn from data instead of being explicitly programmed for each task. You give the algorithm examples, and it determines patterns and rules on its own. ML encompasses supervised (with labels), unsupervised (without labels), and reinforcement (through reward) learning. Deep learning is a special form of ML.
