Machine Learning, Machine Intelligence and Cognitive Computing: What Does All of this Have to do with Big Data?

So now that we've got all of this basic terminology out of the way and you can see what machine learning and intelligence are really all about, we can start thinking of the possibilities from a practical perspective. It should come as no surprise that ML is already in widespread use. One popular use case is fraud detection in financial transactions, and the industry is only getting started with the possibilities. Crooks can get quite creative when it comes to gaming the system, and this why we need intelligent systems that continually monitor people's buying behavior. The easy detections are the ones where there is an obvious outlier in the data.
