Machine Learning Defined: Systems Learn from Data to Improve Performance
Machine learning is an artificial intelligence approach where systems learn from data to enhance their performance without explicit programming. Instead of being pre-programmed with every rule, these systems are trained using data to identify patterns. This enables them to classify new data, make predictions, and support decision-making. Machine learning encompasses various methods, including decision trees, regression models, and neural networks. Deep learning is a specialized subset of machine learning that utilizes multi-layer neural networks. While traditional machine learning often uses less complex neural networks with fewer layers, deep learning employs many layers, allowing it to automatically learn relevant features from data, which is particularly suitable for complex tasks involving large datasets like image and speech recognition.
