What is Machine Learning?



Machine Learning: The development of algorithms that enable computers to learn and make predictions based on data (in essence, learning from experience) instead of explicitly coding each individual step (as is done in regular programming).






Motivations


To understand what this means, let's consider a simple, typical program: a list-sorting algorithm. Writing this algorithm would involve specifying each step needed to carry out the task of sorting a list.


This approach works well on a lot of …
