What is one possible definition of machine learning according to the text?
- A collection of algorithms that can only detect patterns in data but cannot predict future data or make decisions under uncertainty
- A set of methods that can automatically detect patterns in data and use the uncovered patterns to predict future data or make decisions under uncertainty (correct)
- A series of steps that can only detect patterns in data but cannot use the uncovered patterns to predict future data or make decisions under uncertainty
- A set of rules that can only detect patterns in data but cannot use the uncovered patterns to predict future data or make decisions under uncertainty

What does machine learning aim to do with the uncovered patterns in data?
What does machine learning aim to do with the uncovered patterns in data?
- Simplify the patterns to make them easier to understand visually
- Identify the patterns but not use them for any practical purposes
- Only visualize the patterns in data without any further application
