Vitamin deficiency detection uses different methodolgy to
detect correct vitamin deficiency. Here are the some
methodologies and concepts associated with it.
1. Machine Learning:
Within the field of AI, machine learning builds models and
generate algorithms that helps computer to analyze and make
judgments. It entails teaching machines to see trends,
anticipate outcomes, and gradually enhance their capabilities
without being specifically designed for certain jobs.
