Introduction to Machine Learning Algorithms

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that focuses on developing systems that learn from data. In our Software Automation unit, we'll explore three fundamental algorithms commonly used in ML:

1. Linear Regression

2. Logistic Regression

3. K-Nearest Neighbours

These algorithms form the foundation for many advanced applications in automation, data analysis, and prediction systems.

What Makes an Algorithm "Machine Learning"?

Traditional algorithms follow explicit instructions to solve problems. In contrast, ML algorithms:

• Learn patterns from data

• Make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for the task

• Improve performance with more data and experience

• Can handle complex relationships that would be difficult to program manually
