The What, Why and How of Machine Learning Algorithms How do you choose the correct ML algorithm for a given application? Machine learning is a field of learning patterns through data without any need for explicitly programming or hand-written rules. Before machine learning became mainstream, programmers wrote rules derived from a function of their domain knowledge, observation of some hand-picked instances, and the business requirement to perform a particular task. But this legacy way of delivering business results suffered some evident constraints. How to Choose the Right Algorithm Once you understand what type of business problems machine learning algorithms are best suited for and what are the broad categories in terms of statistical formulation of the given use case.
