Machine Learning
Machine Learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention. It uses data and algorithms to mimic how humans learn, gradually improving its accuracy. It allows computers to learn without being explicitly programmed. It gives enterprises a view of trends in customer behavior and business operational patterns, as well as supports the development of new products. Many of today's leading companies use machine learning as a central part of their operations. Machine learning has become a significant competitive differentiator for many companies.
How Machine Learning Works
The 3 components of Machine Learning:
Decision Processes: Machine Learning algorithms perform predictions or classifications based on labeled or unlabeled input data. An algorithm will estimate a pattern in the data.
Error Function: Evaluates the prediction of the model. Used to assess the accuracy of a model by comparison if there are known examples.
Optimization Process: When the model fits better to the data points in the training set, the weights are adjusted to minimize the difference between the known example and the model estimate. The algorithm will keep repeating this evaluation and optimizing the process and updating weights autonomously until a threshold of accuracy is achieved.
In Simple Terms:
A computational algorithm is at the core of making decisions.
Variables and features that make up the decision.
Base knowledge for which the answer is known enables (trains) the system to learn.
Initially, a model is fed parameter data with a known answer. After running the algorithm, adjustments are made until the output (learning) agrees with the known answer. This is when the system begins to learn and take higher computational decisions with the help of increasing amounts of data.
