ML applications in real life

ML, as a modern innovation, has revolutionized numerous industrial and professional processes, enhancing various aspects of our daily lives. Intelligent systems powered by ML algorithms possess the capability to learn from historical data or past experiences. By leveraging this knowledge, ML applications can generate outcomes and insights.

The fields of study in which ML is used cover many types of problems. The main ones are as follows:

  • The representation of knowledge and reasoning that aims to reproduce the way of reasoning of the human brain through the definition of symbolism and languages to create machines capable of performing automatic reasoning
  • Planning and coordination dealing with the development of systems that, given an application domain, have the objective of predicting future results and making decisions to achieve these objectives and maximize their benefits
  • Robotics, for studies related to the movement of mechanical...
