Categorization is the process of organizing items, concepts, or data into defined groups based on shared characteristics, helping to simplify complexity and reveal patterns. In modern contexts, it's a cornerstone of artificial intelligence and data analysis, where even minor tweaks can dramatically improve accuracy in applications like search engines or social media algorithms.
