# Machine learning

> A process of training a piece of software, called a model, to make useful predictions or generate content from data.

A process of [training](https://wiki.g15e.com/pages/Training%20(machine%20learning.txt)) a piece of software, called a [model](https://wiki.g15e.com/pages/Model%20(machine%20learning.txt)), to make useful [predictions](https://wiki.g15e.com/pages/Prediction%20(machine%20learning.txt)) or generate content from data.

## Generalization and OOD

A model's ability to make correct predictions on new, previously unseen data is called [generalization](https://wiki.g15e.com/pages/Generalization%20(machine%20learning.txt)), and <out-of-distribution generalization> is one of the most important problems in the contemporary machine learning.
