Big Data Makes for Exceptional Machine Learning

As a new year kicks off, the words "big data" continue to be spoken in multiple industries all over the world. In much the same way, 2016 look to continue that trend, with more in-roads being made for big data in areas such as finances, health care, manufacturing, and even sports organizations. At the same time, machine learning is quickly catching on. Both big data and machine learning are often mentioned in the same breath, yet the two are not synonymous. Machine learning can be performed without the massive and complex data sets people often think of when referring to big data.
