Machine learning

1. Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on the development of algorithms and models that enable computers to learn and make decisions based on data. It involves creating systems that can automatically learn from and improve on their own without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning algorithms can analyze large amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions or decisions with minimal human intervention. These algorithms are used in various applications such as image and speech recognition, recommendation systems, autonomous vehicles, medical diagnosis, and many others. By leveraging the power of machine learning, organizations can extract valuable insights from data and improve decision-making processes, leading to more efficient and innovative solutions.
