Machine learning overview
In a moment, you'll cover the installation of SQL Server Machine Learning Services and get it up and running. You'll also gain an understanding of its components, configuration, and security, at which point you're ready to get started with your workloads. But just what is machine learning and where would you use it? Let's examine the basics.
Within data science, there are three primary branches for prediction and categorization:
- Machine learning: Using patterns and inferences from data rather than explicit programming to perform a task
- Artificial intelligence: Applying sensory inputs to learn from data (often using machine learning techniques)
- Deep learning: Using layers of machine learning methods to create networks that mimic the human mind's processing of data
Machine learning is the "core" of most of the techniques used in all three branches, and SQL Server 2019 provides a Machine Learning...
