The Renaissance of Machine Learning – Fraud & Technology Wire

Machine learning started out as the idea of giving a machine human intelligence. The discipline was originally intertwined with artificial intelligence (AI), as scientists wove together the fields of computer science, mathematics, statistics, probability, expert systems and neural networks. The original benchmark for machine learning and artificial intelligence was the Turing Test, created by British mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing. "A computer was said to be able to'thin' if a human interrogator could not tell it apart, through conversation, from a human being". Since then, machine learning has been reorganized as a separate field from AI, with the aim of finding solutions to solvable problems using methods based in statistics and probability theory.
