Machine learning is a branch of statistics and computer science, which studies algorithms and architectures that learn from observed facts. It evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in artificial intelligence. Machine learning explores the study and construction of algorithms that can learn from and perform predictive analysis on data. Such algorithms operate by building a model from an example training set of input observations in order to make data-driven predictions or decisions expressed as outputs rather than following strictly static program instructions.
