Introduction to Machine Learning: Concepts and Applications
🤖 Machine Learning (ML)
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn from data and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed. It encompasses various algorithms that:
- 🔍 Identify patterns
- 📈 Make predictions
- 🧠 Automate decision-making processes
💡 Applications include:
- ✉️ Spam detection
- 🖼️ Image recognition
- 🚗 Autonomous vehicles
- 🎯 Personalized recommendations
🧒 Understanding ML with an Analogy
To understand ML, consider teaching a child to recognize animals:
Instead of programming every rule, you show examples, and the child learns to identify new animals based on learned patterns.
