What Is Machine Learning

Machine Learning, coined by Arthur Samuel in 1959, is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that allows computers to learn from data and improve their performance without explicit programming. It relies on historical data to build predictive models, enabling automation of tasks and intelligent decision-making across various industries. Unlike traditional programming, where a fixed program is used, Machine Learning algorithms create their own logic based on the input data and associated outputs.

Machine Learning

What is Machine Learning?

Arthur Samuel coined the term Machine Learning in the year 1959.

Defines Machine Learning as “Field of study that gives computers the capability to learn without
being explicitly programmed”

Machine Learning is an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which enables a program(software)


to learn from the experiences and improve their self at a task without being explicitly programmed.

For example, how would you write a program that can identify fruits based on their various
properties, such as colour, shape, size or any other property?
• One approach is to hardcode everything, make some rules and
use them to identify the fruits.
• This may seem the only way and work but one can never make
perfect rules that apply on all cases.
• This problem can be easily solved using machine learning without
any rules which makes it more robust and practical
• Thus, we can say that Machine Learning is the study of making
machines more human-like in their behaviour and decision
making by giving them the ability to learn with minimum human
intervention, i.e., no explicit programming.
• How can a program attain any experience and from where
does it learn?
• The answer is data.
• Data is also called the fuel for Machine Learning and we can
safely say that there is no machine learning without data.
• Machine Learning needs a huge computational power, a lot of
data and devices which are capable of storing such vast data.
We have only recently reached a point where we now have all
these requirements and can practice Machine Learning
• With the help of sample historical data, which is known
as training data, machine learning algorithms build
a mathematical model that helps in making predictions or
decisions without being explicitly programmed.
• Machine learning brings computer science and statistics
together for creating predictive models.
• Machine learning constructs or uses the algorithms that learn
from historical data.
• The more we will provide the information, the higher will be
the performance.
• A machine has the ability to
learn if it can improve its
performance by gaining more
data.
How Machine Learning
Works?
• A Machine Learning system learns from historical
data, builds the prediction models, and whenever it
receives new data, predicts the output for it.
• The accuracy of predicted output depends upon the
amount of data, as the huge amount of data helps to
build a better model which predicts the output more
accurately.
• Suppose we have a complex problem, where we need to
perform some predictions, so instead of writing a code for
it, we just need to feed the data to generic algorithms,
and with the help of these algorithms, machine builds the
logic as per the data and predict the output.
• Machine learning has changed our way of thinking about
the problem.

Machine Learning today has all the attention it needs.

Machine Learning can automate many tasks, especially the


ones that only humans can perform with their innate
Need For intelligence.
Replicating this intelligence to machines can be achieved
Machine only with the help of machine learning.

Learning With the help of Machine Learning, businesses can


automate routine tasks.

It also helps in automating and quickly create models for


data analysis.
Various industries depend on vast quantities of data to optimize
their operations and make intelligent decisions.

Machine Learning helps in creating models that can process and


analyze large amounts of complex data to deliver accurate
results.

We can train machine learning algorithms by providing them the


huge amount of data and let them explore the data, construct
the models, and predict the required output automatically.

The performance of the machine learning algorithm depends on


the amount of data, and it can be determined by the cost
function.

With the help of machine learning, we can save both time and
money
How is it different
from traditional
programming?
• Are you wondering how is Machine Learning
different from traditional programming?
• Well, in traditional programming, we would
feed the input data and a well written and
tested program into a machine to generate
output.
• When it comes to machine learning, input
data along with the output associated with
the data is fed into the machine during the
learning phase, and it works out a program
for itself.
