Abstract

What is Machine Learning? Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence and computer science which focuses on the use of algorithms and data from mathematical models to help computers imitate the way that humans learn. ML uses algorithms to identify patterns within data, and those patterns are usually modeled into a graph that can be used to make predictions. Machine learning can be divided into different types: Supervised, Unsupervised and Reinforcement Learning. Each of these utilize different techniques.
