What does it mean for a computer to "learn" from data?

Computer learning means using mathematical algorithms to automatically discover patterns and relationships in data without being explicitly programmed for each scenario.\n\n• Process: Analyze large amounts of data to find hidden patterns\n• Improvement: Performance gets better with more data and experience\n• Automation: Makes predictions or decisions without human intervention\n• Adaptation: Adjusts behavior based on new information\n\nExample: Spam email detection learns by analyzing thousands of emails marked as spam/not spam, then automatically identifies spam patterns like suspicious sender addresses, certain keywords, or unusual formatting.
