As it currently stands, the vast majority of the AI advancements and applications you hear about refer to a category of algorithms known as machine learning (see "What is machine learning?").

In a broader sense, many machine learning algorithms are like this party scene, with slight variations in how guests (datapoints) find their friends and arrange themselves at tables (clusters). In a ...

This strays into the area that we call ‘active learning’ (or semi-supervised machine learning, if you prefer) where a computer program’s learning algorithm knows that it can periodically and ...
