Machine learning
Makine öğrenmesi
D1
Machine learning is a set of techniques that improves a system’s performance by using training data to identify patterns and usually produce models automatically.
Review status: 2027-02-23
Technical explanation
It uses statistical and mathematical models with learning algorithms to detect patterns in historical data and support predictions about new data in a workflow.
Conceptual boundaries
Machine learning is a subset of AI strategies, not all of AI; AI also includes knowledge-based approaches.
Provider-neutral example
A model trained on past labelled support tickets can suggest a category for a new ticket before an employee confirms it.
Limitations
Learning from data does not by itself guarantee that a prediction is accurate.
