ML stands for Machine Learning, which is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science that focuses on the use of data and algorithms to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving its accuracy. Machine learning algorithms are trained to find relationships and patterns in data, and they use historical data as input to make predictions, classify information, cluster data points, reduce dimensionality, and even help generate new content. Machine learning is widely applicable across many industries, including e-commerce, social media, news organizations, self-driving cars, and healthcare. The process of machine learning starts with feeding good quality data and then training machines (computers) by building machine learning models using the data and different algorithms. The choice of algorithms depends on what type of data we have and what kind of task we are trying to automate.
