The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is a nonlinear version of the Kalman Filter, which linearizes about the current mean and covariance to predict the state of a system. It is widely used in applications like robotics and navigation where systems are described by nonlinear equations.
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that involves the use of algorithms and statistical models to enable computers to improve their performance on a task through experience. It leverages data to train models that can make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for specific tasks.
