Definition:
A subset of AI that enables computers to learn from data and make decisions or predictions without explicit programming.
Key Components:
- Algorithms: Mathematical models that process data.
- Training Data: Historical data used to teach the model.
- Prediction: Output generated based on new input data.
Use Cases/Industries:
- Finance: Fraud detection and risk assessment.
- Healthcare: Predicting patient outcomes and disease trends.
- Retail: Personalizing customer recommendations.
Advantages:
- Automation: Reduces the need for manual data analysis.
- Scalability: Handles large and complex datasets efficiently.
- Continuous Improvement: Models improve as more data becomes available.
Challenges:
- Data Privacy: Ensuring sensitive information is protected.
- Overfitting: Models may perform well on training data but poorly on new data.
- Resource Intensive: Requires significant computational power and expertise.
