Features are inputs used by a model.
Supervised learning fits a model using examples paired with targets.
Unsupervised learning looks for structure in data without requiring a target label for every example.
Machine learning finds patterns from data to support a task.
A model needs evaluation on data it did not learn from.
Linear regression models a numeric target as a weighted combination of features plus an intercept.
Classification assigns an input to a category.
Precision asks how many positive predictions were correct.
Overfitting happens when a model captures training-specific patterns that fail to generalise.
