Demystifying Machine Learning

Machine learning is the process by which computers are enabled to learn, grow, and change without following explicit instructions by using algorithms, statistics, and user interactions to analyze and make predictions based on patterns in data.

Machine learning is a subsect of artificial intelligence (AI). AI refers to a computer system’s ability to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, communication, decision-making, planning, learning, and the ability to move and manipulate objects.

With the constant evolution of the field, there has been a subsequent rise in the uses, demands, and importance of machine learning. Machines can aid in the filtering and processing of vast amounts of data, making highly accurate and informed predictions that can be applied in a number of different industries.
