Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence in which computer systems learn patterns from data to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for each task. It underlies applications such as recommendation systems, image recognition, natural language processing, and fraud detection, and is used by data scientists and engineers across industries. Common approaches include supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, often implemented using frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.
