An Introduction to Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence¶
Machine Learning (ML) is a part of Artifical Intelligence (AI) that focuses on imitating or mimicking human capabilities like learning, identification, vision and actions. It can be applied to navigation, detection, gaming and many other applications.
Here are some common terms to get familiar:
Model

Models are created in Programming languages like Python, R and Java.
Training
The process of using data to create a model; also called learning.
Classification
