Everything You Wanted to Know About Machine Learning but Were Too Afraid to Ask

Machine Learning, AI, Deep Learning are buzz words being heard daily on TV, in workplaces, at gatherings, etc. Maybe you're a little bit embarrassed to ask what's Machine Learning or AI, or maybe you have the wrong understanding of Machine Learning. Either way that's okay because this article serves as an introduction to Machine Learning, I wrote it in a Q&A format so it becomes easy to follow and understand. Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it's about writing software codes to enables computers (or machines in general) to get better at a given task on their own without human intervention. Some people argue that Machine Learning is a fancy way to say "Statistical Analysis" which is the science of collecting data and uncovering patterns and trends. Either way, think about all the data being generated daily and how people try to make sense of it to make their lives better, that's Machine Learning.
