Machine Learning in Javascript

Vast amounts of data and computing power are becoming available to companies and citizens. Both can be leveraged to take informed decisions and automate tasks. Intelligent automation is possible with a set of tecniques going under the name of "Machine Learning", which is an applied branch of Artificial Intelligence. Machine learning models are able to abstract statistical patterns from data and offer quick responses in tasks like prediction, classification, regression, clustering and recommendation. On the 16th of March I joined the RomaJS MeetUp group and introduced them to the basic concepts of machine learning and the possibilities offered to Javascript practitioners.
