Calculations based on formulas or algorithms have been used commonly since ancient times to find the output for a given input. But without knowing the formulas or algorithms, computer scientists and mathematicians devised methods to generate formulas or algorithms based on an existing input/output dataset and predicted the output of a new input data based on the generated formulas or algorithms. Generally, this process of learning from a dataset and doing predictions based on the learning is known as machine learning. Machine learning originates from the study of artificial intelligence in computer science.
Practical machine learning has numerous applications that are being consumed by laymen on a daily basis. YouTube users now get suggestions for the next items to be played in the playlist based on the video they are currently viewing. Popular movie rating sites give ratings and recommendations based on the user preferences of movie genres. Social media...
