Machine learning

The term machine learning was coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, an American pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI). Tom M. Mitchell, an American computer scientist, provided the following more formal definition of machine learning later:

“A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.”

In simpler terms, this quote describes a computer program that can learn without being explicitly programmed. In machine learning, algorithms are used to build a mathematical model of sample data or training data. The models are used for computer programs to make predictions and decisions without being explicitly programmed for the task in question.

In this section, we will learn about a few different machine learning services and APIs that are available when developing a .NET MAUI application. Some APIs are only...
