What is a Machine Learning Algorithm?
A machine learning algorithm is a computational procedure that learns patterns from examples or experience and uses those patterns to make predictions or decisions on new inputs—without requiring every rule to be programmed by hand.
Compare ML algorithms with structured tests
Algorithm choice should be driven by measured error, fairness, and robustness—not only training loss. Structure those comparisons with Giskard.
