Machine Learning: From Then Until Now - DATAVERSITY

Machine Learning is a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which allows computers to learn by way of observation and experience, rather than rigid pre-programming. Machine Learning uses computer programs that are capable of growth and change as they process new data. Using algorithms, Machine Learning allows computers to develop habitual responses based on the repeated behaviors and actions of the person using the computer. The concept of learning repeated behaviors is important. As models are presented with new data, they adapt, learning from earlier experiences to provide reliable, consistent results and responses. While the science of Machine Learning is not new, it has been gaining a renewed popularity as it becomes a fundamental building block in AI technology, Big Data, and the evolution of virtual assistants.
