What is Machine Learning?
Understanding Machine Learning in E-commerce
Quick Definition
Machine Learning is an advanced artificial intelligence technique where algorithms automatically learn and improve from experience without explicit programming. By analyzing large datasets, ML models identify patterns, make predictions, and adapt their performance over time, enabling sophisticated data-driven decision-making across industries like e-commerce, finance, and technology.
Understanding Machine Learning
Core Machine Learning Principles
- •Data Input: Large, diverse datasets providing training information
- •Pattern Recognition: Identifying complex relationships within data
- •Predictive Modeling: Creating algorithms that generate accurate forecasts
- •Continuous Learning: Improving performance through ongoing data exposure
