IML

IML is an acronym that can refer to several distinct terms across different domains. The intended meaning typically depends on the context in which it appears.

In-mold labeling, abbreviated IML, is a plastics processing technique in which a label or decorative artwork is placed inside a mold so that it fuses with the surface of the part during injection molding. The result is a durable, integrated label used on consumer packaging, automotive parts, and household goods.

Instituto Médico-Legal, abbreviated IML, is the term used in some Portuguese-speaking countries for a forensic medicine institute. These facilities perform autopsies, medicolegal examinations, and provide expert testimony and toxicology analyses for legal investigations. The structure and authority of IMLs vary by country and jurisdiction.

Interactive Machine Learning, abbreviated IML, denotes approaches in human-in-the-loop AI where user input—such as corrections, feedback, or demonstrations—guides model training and refinement. IML emphasizes collaboration between humans and algorithms, often shortening development cycles and improving performance in tasks with ambiguous labels or evolving data.

Other uses include various institutions, committees, and initiatives that adopt the acronym IML. Because IML spans multiple disciplines and languages, the intended meaning is usually clear from context or affiliated organization.
