Machine Learning (ML)

A subset of AI that enables systems to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. ML algorithms build models based on training data to make predictions or decisions.

Deep Learning

A subset of machine learning based on artificial neural networks with multiple layers. Deep learning can learn complex patterns from large amounts of data and is particularly effective for image recognition, speech processing, and natural language understanding.

Neural Network

A computing system inspired by biological neural networks in the brain. It consists of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers that process information and can learn patterns from data.
