M is for Machine Learning – DXC Blogs

This post is part of a continuing series, "Digital: from A to Z," that explores what it means to be "digital" from A to Z, broken down into individual blog posts diving deeper into various subjects. Check back here regularly to see continuing posts as I work my way through the alphabet and let me know: What's in your A to Z of digital? You can find me on twitter @Max_Hemingway or leave a comment below. Machine Learning (ML) allows a computer to learn and act without being explicitly programmed with that knowledge. For example, if you get a computer to recognise a picture of a car and show it some examples of a car, it will then be able to recognise cars going forward and apply what it has learnt against new pictures shown.
