Data Science and Machine Learning with R - Machine Learning Overview

The video tutorial introduces machine learning as a concept where computers learn from examples and experiences without explicit programming. It explains how machine learning is applied in real-world scenarios, such as Facebook's algorithm that learns user behavior to personalize content, classification algorithms for email filtering, and retargeting ads in ecommerce. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding datasets and interactions to make data-driven decisions.

What is retargeting in the context of machine learning and online advertising?
