Machine Learning Innovation in the Information, Communications and Technology Industries

Have you ever visited a favorite e-commerce website, and noticed the website was recommending some products you had looked at before? Have you taken a picture of your friend with your smartphone, and the phone asked you to confirm whether or not it was, in fact that friend by name, based on pictures you had tagged before? Have you heard about Google's self-driving car, Skype's emerging translation capabilities or IBM Watson, which is helping doctors to diagnose and treat patients more effectively? There are many names for the magic behind this wizardry, including artificial intelligence, machine learning or cognitive technology. Regardless of what you call it, robots, software and computing devices are evolving to become more autonomous than ever before.
