Top 5 Machine Learning Algorithms used by Data Scientists with Python: Part-1

Machine learning is an important Artificial Intelligence technique that can perform a task effectively by learning through experience. According to Forbes, machine learning will replace 25% of the jobs within the next 10 years. One of the most popular real-world applications of Machine Learning is classification. It corresponds to a task that occurs commonly in everyday life. For example, a hospital may want to classify medical patients into those who are at high, medium or low risk of acquiring a certain illness, an opinion polling company may wish to classify people interviewed into those who are likely to vote for each of several political parties or are undecided, or we may wish to classify a student project as distinction, merit, pass or fail.
