Machine learning
Machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence where computers learn from data without being programmed step by step.
Models learn to recognize patterns, relationships, and rules that aren't visible in the data at first glance. They can then make predictions, classify, or make decisions on their own, even on new information they have never seen before.
The goal is for them to get steadily better at what they do as more data comes in.
Deep learning
Deep learning is a type of machine learning that teaches AI to recognize patterns in data using neural networks, structures inspired by the human brain.
The more layers (neurons) a model has, the more complex the things it can understand. Classical machine learning often makes do with smaller amounts of data and simpler algorithms, whereas deep learning needs larger amounts of data and more powerful computing.
