The Evolution of Machine Learning

In recent years, the term'machine learning' has become very popular among developers and business alike, even though research in the field has been going on for decades. Essentially, machine learning is about teaching machines to learn concepts and techniques the way humans do. Earlier, machines were only able to think in boolean logic – having a stringent'yes' (1) or'no' (0) answer (output) to a question (input). This limited the type of questions one could ask a machine. Fuzzy logic systems were later introduced to address this particular issue by enabling machines to answer on a scale of values ranging from no to yes.
