So everyone have heard of term " machine learning ", but only has a fuzzy idea about it. I imagine there are a lot of people who tried reading the wikipedia article , got frustrated and gave up wishing someone would just give them a high-level explanation. That’s what this is. So, What is Machine Learning Machine Learning is a subfield within Artificial Intelligence that builds algorithms that allow computers to learn to perform tasks from data instead of being explicitly programmed. Tom M. Mitchell provided a more formal definition, which says, "A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P if its performance at tasks in T , as measured by P , improves with experience E ." In simple words, machine learning is a set of techniques used to program computers and make decisions automatically. How does it make decisions ? It makes decisions by detecting (or learning) ...
