What is Artificial intelligence?
Coining the definition in the simplest of terms, Machine Learning is a fragment of artificial intelligence that focuses on learning by machines from its own experiences and hence based on its experiences, making predictions. This provides the potential to the machines to make data-driven decisions instead of being programmed explicitly for carrying out a certain task. These algorithms (programs) are designed in such a way that they not only learn but also improve over time, on being exposed to new data. To throw in a lot more sense, here are a few practical applications of machine learning: MALWARE PROTECTION - Probably an important application. Machine learning can detect and stop the functioning of malware. Moreover, it can identify the patterns in the use of the cloud to release an alert every time something suspicious happens. PERSONAL PROTECTION - In India, machine learning could be used for screening people at various events to minimize the queues and t...
