Machine Learning Questions

Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence which focuses on the construction and study of systems that can learn from data. It is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In a way, Machine Learning enables computers to learn and act based on their knowledge.

Machine Learning is in our daily lives: our email service uses machine learning to identify spam or malicious emails and removes them from our inbox, the search engines use machine learning to analyze and evaluate websites and answer our queries, social media networks such as Facebook use machine learning to make their advertising services more targeted, large ecommerce websites such as eBay and Amazon use it to suggest us relevant products etc. Machine Learning is also applied in Medicine, Economics, Gaming, Marketing and several other fields.

Machine Learning combines ingredients from several fields including Statistics, Mathematics and Algorithms. The techniques heavily change depending on the type of analysis, the target and the problem. A simplified explanation of how Machine Learning works is the following: We present to the machine a large set of data that describes our problem. We apply machine learning algorithms on the dataset and the computer builds a model; this process is called training. Once the training is complete we are able to use the trained model to make predictions.

Machine Learning allows us to create smart and cool applications! It transforms computers from executioners to learners. Computers become able to learn and adapt their output as they acquire knowledge. Machine Learning techniques allow us to convert data into knowledge by studying the relation in data and identifying patterns. The ML algorithms are capable of working with big data and once properly trained deliver excellent predictions. Why is this useful? Because we can train computers to solve problems that would require several human hours to complete, we can teach them to perform tasks faster and more effectively and with their help we can build new innovative applications.
