Machine learning overview
Machine learning is a multidisciplinary field created by intersection and synergy between computer science, statistics, neurobiology, and control theory. Its emergence has played a key role in several fields and has fundamentally changed the vision of software programming. If the question before was, How can we program a computer? now the question has become, How will computers program themselves?
Thus, it is clear that machine learning is a basic method that allows a computer to have its own intelligence.
Machine learning algorithms
The power of machine learning is due to the quality of its algorithms, which have been improved and updated over the years; these are divided into several main types depending on the nature of the signal used for learning or the type of feedback adopted by the system.
They are:
- Supervised learning: The algorithm generates a function that links input values to a desired output through the observation of a set of examples in which each data...
