An Introduction to Machine Learning - Notes on New Technologies

Humans learn from past experiences, Machines follow the instructions given by humans but, what if humans can train the machines to learn from the past experiences (data) and can do act much faster, here comes the concept of Machine Learning. Machine learning is the field of study that gives computers the capability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning algorithms build a mathematical model based on the data, known as training data, in order to make predictions or decisions. Machine learning is not only about learning, but also about understanding and reasoning. Machine Learning is not programmed, it is taught with data.
