11 Most Common Machine Learning Algorithms Explained in a Nutshell

The prevalence of machine learning has been increasing tremendously in recent years due to the high demand and advancements in technology. The potential of machine learning to create value out of data has made it appealing for businesses in many different industries. Most machine learning products are designed and implemented with off-the-shelf machine learning algorithms with some tuning and minor changes. In this post, I will cover the most common algorithms in the first two categories. Note: Although deep learning is a sub-field of machine learning, I will not include any deep learning algorithms in this post.
