Machine Learning: What it is and Why it Matters

Machine Learning has begun to reshape how we live, so we need to understand what Machine Learning is and know why it matters. A good start at a Machine Learning definition is that it is a core sub-area of Artificial Intelligence (AI). ML applications learn from experience (well data) like humans without direct programming. When exposed to new data, these applications learn, grow, change, and develop by themselves. In other words, with Machine Learning, computers find insightful information without being told where to look.
