machine learning
Data-driven pattern acquisition
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence where computer systems improve their performance through experience rather than explicit programming.
The system analyzes data, identifies patterns, and refines its predictions or decisions over time: The spam filter uses machine learning to adapt to new threats.
Machine learning powers everything from recommendation algorithms to voice recognition to self-driving cars.
