Introduction to Machine Learning Algorithms

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that provides systems the ability to

automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. ML

algorithms use data to identify patterns and make decisions or predictions.

- SVM: Finds the best boundary to separate classes in the data.

- KNN: Classifies data points based on the majority label of nearest neighbors.

- Naive Bayes: Based on Bayes' theorem assuming independence between features.

- K-Means: Clusters data into k groups based on similarity.
