A machine learningMachine learning (or ML) is a process by which machines can be trained to perform tasks that required humans before. It's based on analysis of lots of data, and it might affect how some IoT devices work. approach where a machineIn our context, a machine is anything that isn't human (or living). That includes electronic equipment like computers and phones. is trained by giving it examples and, during the trainingWith machine learning, a model must be trained in order to perform its function (which is called inference)., telling the machine what the answers are. A large number of varied examples provide the best results.
