                     Ensemble learning in machine learning refers to techniques that combine the predictions from multiple models (learners) to improve the overall performance. The main idea is that a group of weak learners (models with moderate accuracy) can come together to form a strong learner. Ensemble methods can often achieve better results than individual models by reducing variance, bias, or improving predictions.

                     Blending is similar to stacking, but the key difference is how the meta-model is trained. In stacking, the base models are trained using cross-validation, and their predictions are passed to the meta-model. In blending, a holdout validation set is used for training the meta-model, and the base models are trained on the entire training set.

-                    Blending is similar to stacking, but it uses a simpler approach to combine the predictions of the base models. Instead of training a meta-model, blending uses a weighted average of the base model predictions. The weights are determined based on the performance of each base model on a validation set or using a grid search technique.
