What Is Machine Learning

Machine learning is a field of study in [[artificial-intelligence|artificial intelligence]] that focuses on the development and study of statistical algorithms. The foundations of machine learning lie in [[statistics|statistics]] and [[mathematical-optimisation|mathematical optimisation]]. With applications in [[data-mining|data mining]] and [[deep-learning|deep learning]], machine learning enables systems to improve their performance on a task without being explicitly programmed for that task, as seen in [[neural-networks|neural networks]].
