The Case for Machine Learning in Business

Originally published in the ITS Ghaziabad 2nd CXO Meet Souvenir, "Digital India Mission: Transforming India for Tomorrow." Achievements in machine learning are coming at ever-increasing rapidity over the past several months. You are likely familiar with the recent accomplishments associated with machine learning, especially those of so-called deep learning, or the use of multi-layered artificial neural networks. These specific achievements include the high profile AlphaGo and Deep Dream, along with numerous others in the realms of computer vision and natural language processing. Interestingly, a number of these recent mainstream successes are primarily attributable to Google in one form or another.
