Deep Dive Into Machine Learning - DZone AI

We now live in an age where machine learning is a hot topic. Machines can learn on their own without human intervention, and at the same time, it can bring humans closer to machines by enabling humans to "teach" machines. Machine learning has been around for several decades, but only recently have we been able to take advantage of this technology thanks to the recent advancements made in computing power. Now, let's look at a quick timeline of machine learning: Machine learning (ML) deals with systems and algorithms focused on identifying patterns within data and making predictions by finding hidden patterns in data. It is worth mentioning here that machine learning falls under the artificial intelligence (AI) umbrella, which in turn intersects with the broader fields of data mining and knowledge discovery.
