Machine Learning 101 – Onfido Tech – Medium

In this blog post we'll briefly cover the following topics to give you a very basic introduction to machine learning: Don't worry if you're not an expert -- the only knowledge you need for this blog post is basic high school maths. The goal of machine learning is to come up with algorithms that can learn how to perform a certain task based on example data. Let's say we want to write a program to play the game Go. We could write this program by manually defining rules on how to play the game. We might, program some opening strategies and decision rules -- that it's better to capture a stone than not, for example.
