Machine Learning is a sub-branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that is one of the fast-evolving fields of computer science. It is simply the study of computer algorithms and related data, which automatically improve through experience and learns to imitate the way a human learns and acts, with high accuracy. The great mind of this field is Arthur Samuel, the researcher who coined the term and is one of the pioneers of AI.
As seen in the above image, the study includes researching computer data and algorithms, using data mining processes and tools, uncovering key insights that shall help in the decision-making process and its implementation in business, and in turn impacting the key growth metrics to get in-hand automated results.
The different approaches to Machine Learning are divided into five categories-
Not only the above mentioned, but ML has many other uses like predicting illness in healthcare cases, checking the credit-worthiness of a bank's clients, self-driving cars, ranking of social media posts, computer vision in agriculture, targeted e-mails
