Machine learning (ML) stories
A subset of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning describes the process by which a computer is ‘trained’ to recognise and react to inputs or situations without being explicitly told what those reactions should be.

ML is among the techniques being used in pursuit of AI mimicking the human brain.
