Machine learning basics for newbies - Open Source For You

Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can teach themselves to grow and adapt when exposed to new data. It is increasingly impacting our lives nowadays, as machines play an important role in banking and financial services, healthcare, retail, publishing, and in the social media, robot locomotion and gaming domains. When we start the journey of life as new born babies, we inherit the characteristics of our parents. We don't know what to do and when to do what. As we grow up, our parents and elders teach us how to walk, talk and take various decisions in our lives and, as time passes, we gain experience and knowledge.
