What is Instance-Based Learning?

Skill Level:

Instance-Based Learning is an AI approach where models make predictions based on similarity to previously seen examples. Instead of generalising from a predefined set of rules, Instance-Based Learning examines specific instances and their characteristics. This approach is effective in tasks such as pattern recognition and recommendation systems.
