What is Machine Learning?

A new approach to Artificial Intelligence with an emphasis on statistical analysis, the ability for the computer to write its own set of rules, rather than humans writing all of the conditional logic.

Its purpose

Using the power of computers to complement and supplement human intelligence.

Example: programs can scan and process huge databases detecting patterns that are beyond the scope of human perception.

Examples

Face/voice detection on your phone

Detecting eye deceases

Self-driving cars

Steps involved

Supervised Learning

• Can be classified into 2 types:
  • Regression
  • Classification
    ​
• When a machine intelligence predicts a category or a quantity using models of classification and regression respectively.
