Algorithm.
A set of step-by-step instructions or rules followed to solve a problem or perform a computation.
In-depth explanation
01In machine learning, algorithms are the mathematical procedures that learn patterns from data. Different algorithms are suited for different types of problems. Common ML algorithms include linear regression, decision trees, random forests, and neural networks. Choosing the right algorithm depends on the problem type, data characteristics, and requirements.

0301AccuracyAccuracy is a metric used in machine learning to measure the percentage of correctly predicted instances in relation to the total number of instances evaluated. It is widely used to assess the performance of classification models.02Active LearningActive learning is a machine learning approach where the algorithm selectively queries a human expert to label new data points with the goal of improving the model's performance with minimal labeled data.03Adam OptimizerAdam (Adaptive Moment Estimation) is an optimization algorithm used in training machine learning models, particularly neural networks. It combines the advantages of two other extensions of stochastic gradient descent, specifically AdaGrad and RMSProp, to adaptively adjust the learning rate of each parameter.04Adversarial AttackAn adversarial attack is a deliberate attempt to manipulate the inputs to an AI model in order to cause it to make errors or incorrect predictions, often by introducing subtle perturbations that are imperceptible to humans.05Adversarial ExampleAn adversarial example is a specially crafted input designed to deceive a machine learning model, causing it to make an incorrect prediction or classification.06Agentic AIAgentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems designed to perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions autonomously to achieve specific goals.
