Also known as: ml · ML
Maschinelles Lernen (ML) ist ein Teilgebiet der künstlichen Intelligenz, in dem Systeme Muster aus Daten oder Erfahrung lernen, um Vorhersagen, Klassifikationen, Empfehlungen oder Entscheidungen zu treffen, ohne für jeden Fall explizit programmiert zu sein. Es funktioniert durch Optimierung von Modellparametern, sodass das Verhalten des Modells Trainingsdaten widerspiegelt und auf neue Eingaben generalisieren kann. ML umfasst Methoden wie überwachtes Lernen, unüberwachtes Lernen, halbüberwachtes Lernen und Reinforcement Learning.
The scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use in order to perform a specific task effectively without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead.
A program or system that trains a model from input data. The trained model can make useful predictions from new (never-before-seen) data drawn from the same distribution as the one used to train the model. Machine learning also refers to the field of study concerned with these programs or systems. See the Introduction to Machine Learning course for more information.
Machine learning is a field of study with a range of approaches to developing algorithms that can be used in AI systems. AI is a more general term. In ML, an algorithm will identify rules and patterns in the data without a human specifying those rules and patterns. These algorithms build a model for decision making as they go through data. (You will sometimes hear the term machine learning model.) Because they discover their own rules in the data they are given, ML systems can perpetuate biases. Algorithms used in machine learning require massive amounts of data to be trained to make decisions. It's important to note that in machine learning, the algorithm is doing the work to improve and does not have the help of a human programmer. It is also important to note three more things. One, in most cases the algorithm is learning an association (when X occurs, it usually means Y) from training data that is from the past. Two, since the data is historical, it may contain biases and assumptions that we do not want to perpetuate. Three, there are many questions about involving humans in the loop with AI systems; when using ML to solve AI problems, a human may not be able to understand the rules the algorithm is creating and using to make decisions. This could be especially problematic if a human learner was harmed by a decision a machine made and there was no way to appeal the decision.
