Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that allows machines to make decisions based on past experiences, improving performance without explicit programming. It is widely used in applications such as search engines, face recognition, and self-driving cars, with companies like Facebook and Amazon leveraging it for user recommendations. ML can be categorized into supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, and it excels in analyzing large data volumes to uncover hidden patterns and automate tasks.

MACHINE LEARNING

1
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that enables a machine (or computer
program) to take decisions based on past information regarding similar situations.
In other words, it can be defined as the process by which a machine learns to do a
task automatically based on past experience in such a way that its performance
improves with experience without being explicitly programmed.
Search engines are one of the most common examples of programs that use machine
learning to refine and improve results based on the data collected during previous
use. For example, suppose when you search for a video to learn any science topic,
you always prefer to watch videos from a particular channel. So next time when you
search again for the same topic, the search engine learns from your past preference
and presents the top search results accordingly.
Presently, machine learning is being used in face recognition, self-driving cars,
cyber fraud detection, etc. Many top companies such as Facebook, Amazon and Netflix
have built machine learning models that use a vast amount of data to analyse the
users' interest and recommend product/program accordingly.
Features of Machine Learning: Some features of machine learning are listed below.
. It can learn from past data independently and improve performance with
experience.
It can solve complex problems which are difficult for human beings.
• It can effectively analyse massive volumes of data and provide accurate analysis
and results. It helps in finding hidden patterns and thus, extract useful
information from given data.
. It can automate repetitive tasks, thus increasing productivity.
It plays a critical role in enabling businesses and brands to drive more customer
engagement. How does Machine Learning Work?: In traditional programming, you
provide the data and program, and the computer generates the output. Whereas, the
machine learning works by learning with the help of sample historical data (also
called training data), builds the prediction models, and whenever it receives new
data, predicts the output for it. It involves minimal human intervention. A Machine
Learning system learns from past data and finds hidden patterns (training), and
builds a model which predicts the output for any new data added to it. The accuracy
of the predicted result depends on the amount of input data. More the amount of
input data, better will be the model built, which in turn will predict the output
more accurately.

Machine Learning algorithms can be trained by providing them with vast amount of
data and letting them explore the data, construct the models, and predict the
required output automatically.
Types of Machine Learning: Machine Learning can be broadly classified into three
types: supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning.
