What is the main premise of Machine Learning?

It is based on the idea that computers cannot learn from data.

It focuses on making machines less human-like in their behavior.

It allows systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. (correct)

It requires explicit programming for systems to learn and improve from experience.

What is the role of a Machine Learning model?

Executing programs with minimal human intervention.

Collecting and storing training data for future use.

Representing a real-world process with mathematical equations. (correct)

Creating measurable properties or parameters of the dataset.

What is a feature in the context of Machine Learning?

The study of making machines more human-like in their behavior and decisions.

The process of automating machine learning models.

A measurable property or parameter of the dataset. (correct)

A set of multiple numeric features.
