What is Machine Learning? 📚
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that focuses on building systems that learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention. Key concepts include:
- Supervised Learning: Training models with labeled data (e.g., classification, regression).
- Unsupervised Learning: Discovering hidden patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., clustering, dimensionality reduction).
- Reinforcement Learning: Learning through rewards and penalties (e.g., robotics, game AI).
Applications of Machine Learning 🌐
Machine learning powers innovations across industries:
- Healthcare: Predictive diagnostics and drug discovery.
- Finance: Fraud detection and algorithmic trading.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Chatbots, translation, and sentiment analysis.
- Computer Vision: Image recognition, object detection, and autonomous vehicles.
