Machine Learning recognition
The term Machine Learning (ML) was first used by Arthur Samuel, one of the
pioneers of Artificial Intelligence at IBM, in 1959.
The name came from researchers who observed computers recognizing patterns
and developed the theory that computers could learn without being programmed
to perform specific tasks.
They began exploring artificial intelligence to see how capable computers were
of learning from data.
ML began to pick up speed in 90’s, when it separated from Artificial Intelligence
and become its own unique field rooted in statistical modelling and probability
theory.
Idea behind Machine Learning
In the real world,
Humans can learn everything from their experiences with their learning
capability
We have computers or machines which work on our instructions.
Can a machine also learn from experiences or past data like a human does?
So the answer is Machine Learning.
Definition of Machine Learning
Machine Learning is said as a subset of artificial intelligence that is mainly concerned
with the development of algorithms which allow a computer to learn from the data and
past experiences on their own.
Introduction to Machine Learning
Machine Learning is a concept which allows the machine to learn from examples
and experience, and that too without being explicitly programmed. So instead of
you writing the code, what you do is you feed data to the generic algorithm, and
the algorithm/ machine builds the logic based on the given data.
Machine Learning is a subset of artificial intelligence which focuses mainly on
machine learning from their experience and making predictions based on its
experience.
Need of Machine Learning
