Introduction to Machine Learning

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on building systems that learn from data. These systems use algorithms to analyze and interpret patterns in data, allowing them to make decisions or predictions based on new input.

Key Concepts

• Supervised Learning: This is a type of machine learning where the algorithm learns from labeled training data. The goal is to learn a mapping from input to output.
• Unsupervised Learning: Here, the algorithm learns from unlabeled data. The goal is to find patterns or structures in the data without any prior knowledge of what these patterns should look like.
• Reinforcement Learning: This involves an agent that learns to make decisions by performing actions in an environment to achieve a goal.

Applications

Machine learning has a wide range of applications, including:

• Image Recognition: Used in applications like facial recognition and autonomous vehicles.
• Natural Language Processing (NLP): Powers applications like chatbots and language translation.
• Medical Diagnosis: Helps in identifying diseases from medical images and patient data.
