learning algorithms

Machine education procedures

Learning algorithms are computational procedures that improve their performance through experience—they identify patterns in data and adjust their behavior accordingly.

Central to machine learning and artificial intelligence, they power everything from spam filters to recommendation systems: The learning algorithm figured out which emails were junk.

Unlike traditional programs with fixed rules, learning algorithms develop their own rules from examples.
