Machine Learning is an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that allows a program (software) to learn from experiences and improve itself at a task without being explicitly programmed. For example, how would you write a program that can recognize fruits based on their different properties, such as color, shape, size, or any other property?
One method is to hardcode everything, create some rules, and then use them to identify the fruits. This may appear to be the only way and work, but there are no perfect rules that apply in all cases. This problem is easily solved by machine learning without the use of rules, making it more robust and practical. You will see how we will accomplish this using machine learning.
Thus, Machine Learning is the study of making machines more human-like in their behavior and decision making by providing them with the ability to learn with minimal human intervention, i.e., no explicit programming. Now the question is, how does a program gain experience and where does it learn? Data is the answer. Data is also known as the "fuel" for machine learning, and it is safe to say that there is no machine learning without data.
