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.
