WHAT IS MACHINE LEARNING?
Machine learning explores the study and construction of algorithms
that can learn from and make predictions on data. Such algorithms
operate by building a model from example inputs in order to make
data-driven predictions or decisions, rather than following strictly
static program instructions.
Machine learning is closely related to and often overlaps with
computational statistics; a discipline that also specializes in
prediction-making. It has strong ties to mathematical optimization,
which delivers methods, theory and application domains to the field.
