Machine Learning

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence in which a computer model learns patterns from examples or data instead of relying only on rules written explicitly by a programmer.

Also known as: ML; statistical learning

Why it matters in collision repair

Machine learning supports vehicle-image analysis, estimate predictions, claims routing, fraud detection, parts forecasting, and other collision-industry applications.

Collision-industry example

A model learns from previously labeled damage images and later predicts whether a new image contains a dent, scratch, or cracked component.
