Introducing machine learning concepts

Machine learning is a concept that was defined by Arthur Samuel in 1959 as a field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Tom M. Mitchel provided a more formal definition for machine learning, in which he links the concept of samples with experience data, labels, and performance measurement of algorithms.

Note

The machine learning definition by Arthur Samuel is referenced in Some Studies in Machine Learning Using the Game of Checkers in IBM Journal of Research and Development (Volume: 3, Issue: 3), p. 210. It was also referenced in The New Yorker and Office Management in the same year. The more formal definition from Tom M. Mitchel is referenced in Machine Learning Book, McGray Hill 1997: (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/mitchell/ftp/mlbook.html).

Machine learning involves pattern recognition and learning theory in artificial intelligence, and is related with computational statistics. It is used...
