A Primer to Artificial Intelligence in Business

Machine learning – The ability for computers to improve functionality based on a variety of algorithms including pattern and text recognition. Over time, as it has more reference data, the machine learns to become more efficient. Natural-language processing – A process that deals with a computer's ability to analyze language through speech recognition, semantics and syntax. Just like a human learns a language through listening and reading while understanding the context, computers can attain a similar capability. Deep learning – A broader version of machine learning, deep learning is the ability for a computer to process various pieces of information the way a human would to make informed decisions and judgements.
