Machine Learning
Machine learning is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to perform a specific task without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead.
Machine learning algorithms are fed with large amounts of data that they can work on to build a model. This model is later used by businesses to generate solutions that help them analyze data and build strategies for the future. For example, a beverage production company can make use of multiple datasets to better understand the trends of their product's consumption over the course of a year. This would help them reduce wastage and better predict the requirements of their consumers. Machine learning is further categorized into unsupervised
and supervised
learning. Let's explore these two terms in detail.
Unsupervised Learning
Unsupervised learning is the method by which algorithms learn patterns within data that is not labeled. Since labels...
