Basics

Machine learning

A branch of AI in which systems learn to perform a task from examples and data rather than from explicitly written rules.

A machine learning model is shown many examples, adjusts its internal parameters to reduce its mistakes, and then applies what it learned to new inputs. Large language models are one kind of machine learning model.
