What is Machine Learning with SAP?

ML differs from traditional programming in that the program discovers or learns rules from the data. When we think of how we learn ourselves, we tend to learn general concepts or broad skillsets. However ML is best applied to solve a specific task. In this sense ML is similar to a normal program where a specific goal is quite well defined. The difference is that a typical ML problem is more complex and therefore manually hardcoding rules would be unviable.
