🔍 What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning is a part of Artificial Intelligence (AI) where computers learn from data and experience (without being explicitly programmed) to make predictions or decisions.

💡 Simple Example:

Imagine you want a computer to recognize if a message is spam or not.

• Instead of writing rules like "if it contains ‘lottery’ → spam",
• You give it thousands of past emails marked as spam or not spam.
• The ML model learns patterns from the data and starts predicting on its own.

🧠 Types of Machine Learning:

1. Supervised Learning:

   • Data has inputs and correct outputs (like “email” + “spam/ham” label).
   • Algorithms learn from labeled data.
   • 🔁 Example: Predicting marks based on study hours.

2. Unsupervised Learning:

   • Only input data is given (no labels).
   • Used to find patterns, like grouping similar items.
   • 🔁 Example: Customer segmentation in marketing.

3. Reinforcement Learning:

   • A model learns by trial and error, receiving rewards or penalties.
   • 🔁 Example: Teaching a robot to walk or play a game.

⚙️ Popular Algorithms:

• Linear Regression (predicting numbers)
• Logistic Regression (binary classification)
• Decision Trees
• Support Vector Machines (SVM)
• Neural Networks (used in deep learning)

• YouTube/Netflix recommendations
• Self-driving cars
• Voice assistants (like Alexa, Siri)
