Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence that leverages data to improve computer performance by giving machines the ability to "learn", or improve performance — based on the data.

There are four basic approaches to machine learning: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning and reinforcement learning.

11. Which are two techniques of Machine Learning ?
12. How it's possible to use a different placeholder through the parameter............. .
13. In machine learning, an algorithm (or learning algorithm) is said to be unstable if a small change in training data cause the large change in the learned classifiers. True or False: Bagging of unstable classifiers is a good idea
