This document provides an introduction to machine learning concepts including definitions of machine learning, training and test data, and different machine learning techniques. It defines machine learning as a field that allows machines to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. It describes how training data is used to teach a machine and test data is used to evaluate how well a machine has learned. The document outlines common machine learning techniques including supervised learning techniques like classification and regression as well as unsupervised learning techniques like clustering. It provides examples of different algorithms for each technique.
