Machine Learning

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed, using algorithms to analyze data, identify patterns, and make decisions. It involves training models on datasets to perform tasks such as classification, regression, clustering, and prediction, with applications ranging from image recognition to natural language processing. The field encompasses various approaches, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, each suited to different types of problems and data.

Also known as: ML, Machine Learning Approaches, Machine Learning Methods, ML Algorithms, AI Learning

Why learn Machine Learning?

Developers should learn machine learning to build intelligent applications that can automate complex tasks, enhance user experiences, and derive insights from large datasets, such as in recommendation systems, fraud detection, or autonomous vehicles. It is essential for roles in data science, AI engineering, and software development where predictive analytics or adaptive behavior is required, enabling innovation in industries like healthcare, finance, and technology.
