Machine learning applications
Given the rapidly growing use of machine learning in diverse areas of human endeavor, any attempt to list typical applications in the different industries where some form of machine learning is in use must necessarily be incomplete. Nevertheless, in this section, we list a broad set of machine learning applications by domain and the type of learning employed:
