Masinõpetus, or machine learning, is a subset of artificial intelligence that involves training algorithms to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. The process begins with a dataset, which is a collection of examples used to train the model. This dataset is fed into a machine learning algorithm, which analyzes the data and identifies patterns. The algorithm then uses these patterns to make predictions or decisions on new, unseen data.

There are two main types of machine learning: supervised learning and unsupervised learning. In supervised learning, the algorithm is trained on a labeled dataset, meaning that each training example is paired with an output label. The goal is to learn a mapping from inputs to outputs. In unsupervised learning, the algorithm is given an unlabeled dataset and must find hidden patterns or intrinsic structures in the input data.

Machine learning algorithms can be categorized into different types based on the nature of the learning task. Some common types include regression algorithms, which predict a continuous output; classification algorithms, which predict a discrete label; and clustering algorithms, which group similar data points together.

One of the key challenges in machine learning is overfitting, where the model learns the training data too well, including its noise and outliers, and performs poorly on new, unseen data. To mitigate this, techniques such as cross-validation and regularization are used.

Machine learning has a wide range of applications, including image and speech recognition, natural language processing, recommendation systems, and autonomous vehicles. As the field continues to evolve, machine learning is expected to play an increasingly important role in various industries and aspects of daily life.
