  There are many techniques (algorithms and models) in ML other than neural networks, for example
  
  * decision trees
  * support vector machines
  * hidden Markov models
  * Bayesian networks
  * linear regression
  * k-means
  * tabular reinforcement learning (e.g. tabular Q-learning)
  
  If you pick any [good book on ML](https://ai.stackexchange.com/q/23507/2444), you will find more details about these.
  
  I don't think these approaches fall into a subfield of ML with a name. Occasionally, some people may call them "traditional ML approaches" or something like that.
