Algorithms

A set of step-by-step instructions or rules followed by a computer to perform a specific task or solve a problem.

Explanation

In the context of artificial intelligence, algorithms are the mathematical engines that enable machines to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions. They range from simple linear regressions to complex deep neural networks. AI algorithms can be categorized into supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, each serving different purposes such as classification, clustering, or optimization.
