Fundamentals
Machine Learning
A subset of AI that enables systems to learn from data
What is Machine Learning?
Machine Learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on building systems that can learn from and make decisions based on data. Instead of being explicitly programmed to perform a task, ML algorithms use statistical techniques to progressively improve their performance on a specific task.
