Machine Learning

Machine Learning is a type of AI where computers learn from data and improve over time — without being told exactly what to do.

🧑For teens & curious minds

Machine Learning is a subset of AI where algorithms analyze large datasets, identify patterns, and make predictions. Models improve their accuracy as they are exposed to more data, without explicit rule-based programming.

💡Visual Analogy

ML is like a child learning to recognize animals. After seeing 1000 pictures of cats, the child can spot a cat they've never seen before.

Key Terms

Training:The process of feeding data to an ML model so it learns.

Prediction:The output a model gives for new data.

Overfitting:When a model memorizes training data but fails on new data.
