Everything You Wanted to Know About Machine Learning - And Then Some!
INTRODUCTION You’ve probably heard about machine learning and its many applications in the news, but what does this mean? How does it work? And how does it benefit you? In this article, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at machine learning and answering these questions, as well as covering some cool examples of machine learning that you might find useful! The basics of machine learning Machine learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that is more about automating the process of learning. There are many different ways machine learning can be applied, but in the context of this post, I'll focus on the most common use case: supervised machine learning. Supervised machine learning starts by training a model with a set of example data from which it learns what's relevant and what's not. Once you've trained your model, you can then use it to make predictions on new data that hasn't been seen before. To illustrate, we'll go through an example: We want to predict ...
