What is Machine Learning and why it is important?

Machine Learning is a field of computer science that uses statistical techniques to train a computer system to learn from data and act according to it. This field consists of many data-driven applications that are not explicitly programmed. We use this application to derive results from underlying data. These applications infer patterns and relationships between different variables in data sets. We can derive knowledge based on this relationship which helps to predict the outcome from the target data sets.

Machine learning allows us to analyze massive amounts of data. Though it takes some time to learn machine learning techniques initially, it brings many opportunities and profits to an organization when used properly.

Categories in Machine Learning

There are mainly four categories of machine learning.
