Machine learning

[muh-SHEEN LUR-ning] /məˈʃiːn ləːnɪŋ/

Machine learning (ML) is a subfield of artificial intelligence working towards developing computers' ability to learn and generalise in the way human beings can, and to perform complex tasks without explicit guidance. Machine learning can take the form of supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, or reinforcement learning, and ultimately hopes to develop computer programs that can improve their own performance.
