WHAT IS… ?

Machine learning (ML) is the ability of computer systems to make accurate predictions or decisions based on data/experience. The science of machine learning uses inference, prediction, and reasoning from experiences through learning to automate data analysis, discovering patterns and correlations, making predictions, decision-making and implementing actions.

HOW IS IT USED ?

Compared to traditional programming methods – where a programmer codes instructions for the computer to execute – machine learning uses mathematical models that can be trained using vast amounts of data to solve problems on its own. These models are then often run through computer-based algorithms that allow them to make predictions and decisions when provided with new inputs
