Machine learning

“

Machine learning, or ML, is a driving force behind most of today's intelligent systems, such as virtual assistants, autonomous vehicles, and so on. It's what enables these systems to recognize patterns, make predictions, and get smarter over time without needing explicit instructions. So what exactly is machine learning? Simply put, machine learning is a subfield within the broad field of artificial intelligence focus on developing algorithms that get better over time by learning from data. Instead of relying on hard-coded rules, ML models find patterns in large data sets and use these patterns to make predictions or classifications. You can think of it as teaching computers by example. Feeding them data, letting them find relationships, and using those relationships to handle new information more intelligently. In cyber security, machine learning has become a powerful ally. It helps detect malware, phishing campaigns, and unusual network behavior faster and more accurately than…
