Is Our Mind A Machine Learning Algorithm?
It is no doubt that everyone has come in contact with Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, perhaps without knowing that they have or what they are, but they certainly have. For example when you are making a purchase online and some items are'suggested for you,' this is an example of ML, another example is when a dating app tries to'match' you based on previous matches you have selected or when social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, show you certain sponsored content. In all these instances some form an ML algorithm is used, which a powerful tool that many corporations are now adopting to derive more value. So what is ML? ML is a type of computer algorithm which relies on a large amount of input data to make a future decision about a new data point. Basically, it is a type of algorithm that when it is fed data, it'learns' and with more and more data, it becomes better at selecting the data points which best match the'learning' data set which it was fed.
