Introduction to Machine Learning
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that enables systems to learn from data and
improve over time without being explicitly programmed.
Types of Machine Learning
1. Supervised Learning: The model learns from labeled data.
2. Unsupervised Learning: The model finds patterns in unlabeled data.
3. Reinforcement Learning: The model learns through rewards and punishments from interactions with the
environment.
