What is the main challenge when training a Machine Learning model?

Ensuring that the data is of quality, avoiding overfitting, and ensuring that the model generalizes well to new cases.

What types of data can be used in Machine Learning?

Structured data (tables, databases) and unstructured data (images, text, audio, video) can be used.

What advantages does Machine Learning have over traditional programming methods?

It allows you to automate complex tasks, improve with new data, and adapt to unknown situations without manual reprogramming.
