Exploring different optimization algorithms

Machine learning is a field of study in the broad spectrum of artificial intelligence (AI) that can make predictions using data without being explicitly programmed to do so. Machine learning algorithms are used in a wide variety of applications, such as recommendation engines, computer vision, spam filtering and so much more. They perform extraordinary well where it is difficult or infeasible to develop conventional algorithms to perform the needed tasks. While many machine learning algorithms have been around for a long time, the ability to automatically apply complex mathematical calculations to big data-- over and over, faster and faster -- is a recent development. One of the most overwhelmingly represented machine learning techniques is a neural network.
