The Business Implications of Machine Learning - Dataconomy

The first step to create an algorithm is providing a program with lots and lots of data which has been organized by humans, like tagged photos. This is how Facebook suggests friends to tag in photos and Google Photos searches by people. The takeaway here is the machine learning allows companies to build better applications that interact with things people create: pictures, speech, text, and other messy things. Like their other products, both Google Search and Facebook Photos demonstrate how RDAs generate significant network effects.
