Computers teaching themselves

ML is the abbreviation for machine learning, the branch of artificial intelligence where computers improve at tasks through experience rather than explicit programming: The app uses ML to recommend songs you'll like.

In other contexts, ML can mean milliliter or markup language (as in HTML).
