What Is Quantum Machine Learning And How Can It Help Us? - Liwaiwai

Artificial intelligence refers, among other things, to machines' capacity to demonstrate some degree of what humans consider "intelligence". This process is being driven by the rapid advancement of machine learning: getting machines to think for themselves rather than pre-programming them with an absolute concept. Humans excel at this task, but it's proved difficult to simulate artificially. Training a machine to recognise a cat doesn't mean inputting a set definition of what a cat looks like. Instead, many different images of cats are inputted; the aim is that the computer learns to distil the underlying "cat-like" pattern of pixels.
