Machine Learning Basics

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the development of computer programs that can learn from and make predictions or decisions based on data. Here are some key concepts and terms you should know:

Key Concepts

Supervised Learning: This is where the model is trained on a labeled dataset, meaning each data point is paired with an output label.
Unsupervised Learning: In this type of learning, the model is trained on a dataset that doesn't have labels.
Reinforcement Learning: A type of learning where an agent learns to make decisions by performing actions and receiving rewards or penalties.

Applications

Machine learning has a wide range of applications, including:

Image Recognition: Used in self-driving cars and facial recognition.
Natural Language Processing (NLP): Used in chatbots and language translation.
Recommendation Systems: Used by Netflix and Amazon to recommend content.
