Choosing the right Machine Learning algorithms

"Google's self-driving cars and robots get a lot of press, but the company's real future is in machine learning, the technology that enables computers to get smarter and more personal" Machine Learning is a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which allows computers to learn by way of observation and experience, rather than rigid pre-programming. These factors are the reason why Machine Learning is much more important nowadays than it was in the 50s. Selecting the right algorithm is a key part of any Machine Learning project, and because there are dozens to choose from, understanding their strengths and weaknesses in various business applications is essential. Machine Learning algorithms can predict patterns based on previous experiences. These algorithms find predictable, repeatable patterns that can be applied to e-commerce, data management, and new technologies such as driverless cars.
