Machine Learning's Basic Definitions

What is Machine Learning?

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows computers and machines to learn from existing information (data) and apply that learning to perform other similar tasks without explicit programming.

What are features and target variables?

Features, also known as attributes, predictors, or independent variables, are the labels or characteristics of the dataset that are fed to model as input.

Target variables are the variables that model should give as output.
