Have you ever wondered how Netflix just knows what movie you want to watch next? Or how your email magically filters out spam, and your phone's camera can recognize your friends' faces? The answer isn't magic—it's Machine Learning.
This introductory lecture is designed for absolute beginners with no prior experience in programming or data science. We'll start by demystifying what machine learning is and how it powers many of the apps and services you use every day. We'll explore the core idea behind it: instead of giving a computer a strict set of instructions, we teach it how to learn from examples and recognize patterns on its own.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Real-World Examples: We'll go beyond movie recommendations to look at how machine learning is used in everything from healthcare to online shopping.
The Basic "How-To": In simple, non-technical terms, we'll cover the fundamental concepts of how a computer learns from data to make predictions.
Why It Matters Now: Discover why machine learning has become one of the most important and exciting fields in technology today.
Your First Steps: We'll point you toward resources and next steps if you're interested in learning more.
