“Machine learning is a field of study that gives computers the
ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.” —Arthur
Samuel, 1959
Machine learning:
Machine Learning is a concept which allows the machine to learn from
examples and experience, and that too without being explicitly
programmed.

Have you ever shopped online?


So while checking for a product, did you noticed when it
recommends for a product similar to what you are
looking for? or did you noticed “the person bought this
product also bought this” combination of products. How
are they doing this recommendation? This is machine
learning.
Did you ever get a call from any bank or finance company asking you to take a loan or an
insurance policy?
What do you think, do they call everyone?
No, they call only a few selected customers who they think will purchase their product.
How do they select?
This is target marketing and can be applied using Clustering. This is machine learning.
What is Machine Learning? Machine Learning is a subset
of artificial intelligence which focuses mainly on machine
learning from their experience and making predictions
based on its experience.

What does it do? It enables the computers or the


machines to make data-driven decisions rather than being
explicitly programmed for carrying out a certain task.
These programs or algorithms are designed in a way that
they learn and improve over time when are exposed to
new data.
Understanding how machines learn
• When we talk about human learning, we distinguish between rote learning, or
memorization, and true intelligence. Memorizing a telephone number or a set of instructions
is undoubtedly learning. But when we say learning, we frequently mean something more.
When children play in groups, they observe how others respond to their actions. Their future
social behaviors are informed by this experience. But they don’t rewind and replay their past.
Rather, certain recognizable features of their interactions—playground, classroom, Mom,
Dad, siblings, friends, strangers, adults, children, indoors, outdoors—provide clues. They
assess each new situation based on the features it has in common with past situations. Their
learning is more than gathering knowledge. They’re building what might be called insight.
Imagine teaching a child the difference between dogs and cats by using flashcards. You show
a card, the child makes a choice, and you place the card in one of two piles for right and
wrong choices, respectively. As the child practices, his performance improves. Interestingly, it
isn’t necessary to first teach the child techniques for cat and dog recognition. Human
cognition has built-in classification mechanisms. All that’s needed are examples. After the
child is proficient with the flashcards, he’ll be able to classify not only the images on the
flashcards, but also most any cat or dog image, not to mention the real thing. This ability to
generalize, to apply knowledge gained through training to new unseen examples, is a key
characteristic of both human and machine learning
How does Machine Learning Work?
Machine Learning algorithm is trained using a training data set to create a model. When new
input data is introduced to the ML algorithm, it makes a prediction on the basis of the model.

The prediction is evaluated for accuracy and if the accuracy is acceptable, the Machine
Learning algorithm is deployed. If the accuracy is not acceptable, the Machine Learning
algorithm is trained again and again with an augmented training data set.

This is just a very high-level example as there are many factors and other steps involved.
