A reductionist approach to defining machine learning in general would be, a programming paradigm where existing data helps in either generalizing the results as in classification algorithms or make some predictions. One of the pioneers of machine learning, Andrew Ng, defines machine learning as the Science of how computers learn without being explicitly programmed. Whichever assertion resonates with you, one thing which is clear that machine learning encompasses areas and solves problems from health diagnostics to space exploration and the way you connect with your friends online to the way your food is getting delivered to your doorstep.
Every day, system intelligence is being added to the services that make machines more intelligent while showing us ways to optimize and improve. Machine learning very broadly can be categorized into four categories:
- Supervised learning: Algorithms that learn from existing datasets output (label) and then utilize them to predict...
