Maskininlärning, often shortened to ML, is a subfield of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Instead of following a set of predefined instructions, ML algorithms identify patterns and relationships within data to make predictions or decisions. The core idea is to allow machines to improve their performance on a specific task over time as they are exposed to more data.

There are several main types of machine learning. Supervised learning involves training a model on labeled data, where the correct output is known. This is used for tasks like image classification or predicting house prices. Unsupervised learning, on the other hand, works with unlabeled data, aiming to discover hidden structures or patterns, such as clustering customers into different segments. Reinforcement learning focuses on training agents to make a sequence of decisions by trial and error, rewarding them for correct actions and penalizing them for mistakes. This is commonly used in robotics and game playing.

The process of machine learning typically involves data collection, data preprocessing, model selection, training the model, evaluating its performance, and deployment. The quality and quantity of data are crucial for the success of an ML model. Common applications of machine learning are found in recommendation systems (like those used by streaming services), spam detection, fraud detection, natural language processing, and medical diagnosis.
