Machine Learning

Definition

Machine learning is a set of methods that allow systems to learn patterns from data and improve performance without being explicitly programmed for every rule. It is one approach within AI, not the entirety of AI. Machine learning models can classify, predict, and recommend.

Business Context

Businesses use machine learning for scoring, forecasting, detection, and automation tasks where rules are hard to define manually. Success depends on data quality, measurement, and clear objectives.

Why it Matters

It enables automation and prediction in complex, data rich environments.
