What is an algorithm in machine learning?

Can you explain what an algorithm is in the context of machine learning?

Sure! In machine learning, an algorithm is a set of rules or instructions that a model follows to learn from data.

How do algorithms differ from traditional programming?

Unlike traditional programming, where you explicitly code the rules, machine learning algorithms learn patterns from data.

What are some common algorithms used in machine learning?

Some common algorithms include linear regression, decision trees, and neural networks.

Can you give an example of how a specific algorithm works?

Absolutely! For instance, linear regression predicts outcomes by fitting a line to the data points.
