Definition

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Instead of following rigid instructions, ML algorithms identify patterns in data and use them to make predictions or decisions.

Types of Machine Learning

Supervised Learning

Learning from labeled data with known outputs. Used for classification and regression.

Unsupervised Learning

Finding hidden patterns in unlabeled data. Used for clustering and dimensionality reduction.

Reinforcement Learning

Learning through trial and error with rewards/penalties. Used for games and robotics.

Deep Learning

Using neural networks with many layers to learn complex patterns.
