Machine Learning

What is Machine Learning?

Machine learning is a way that computers can learn to do tasks without being explicitly programmed.

How does Machine Learning work?

Imagine you have a pet dog, and you want to teach it to fetch a ball. Initially, you might show your dog how to do it a few times, and over time, your dog learns to fetch the ball by observing and making connections between your actions and the outcome. In machine learning, we do something similar with computers:

In essence, machine learning is like training a computer to be a smart helper that can recognize patterns and make decisions on its own, just like your dog learned to fetch a ball without explicit instructions. It's used in various applications, such as image recognition, language translation, recommendation systems, and much more.
