Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the broader concept of machines being able to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that focuses on training systems to learn patterns from data without being explicitly programmed. AI encompasses a wide range of techniques and applications, including rule-based systems, robotics, and expert systems. For example, a chess-playing program that follows predefined strategies can be considered AI even if it does not use machine learning. ML, in contrast, uses algorithms to learn from data. For example, a machine learning model can be trained to classify emails as spam or not spam based on historical data. While all ML is AI, not all AI involves ML; AI can also include techniques beyond learning from data.

What is an imbalanced dataset, and how can I correct it?
An imbalanced dataset occurs when the classes in a classification problem are not represented equally. For example, if y
How does zero-shot learning work for cross-lingual tasks?
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) allows models to perform tasks without prior training on examples from those specific tasks. In
What is cosine similarity, and how is it used with embeddings?
Cosine similarity is a metric used to measure the similarity between two vectors by calculating the cosine of the angle
