What is Machine Learning ?

Machine Learning is the field of study that gives computers the capability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

What are the types of Machine Learning ?

1. Supervised Learning, in which the training data is labeled with the correct answers, e.g., “spam” or “ham.” The two most common types of supervised learning are classification (where the outputs are discrete labels, as in spam filtering) and regression (where the outputs are real-valued).
2. Unsupervised learning, in which we are given a collection of unlabeled data, which we wish to analyze and discover patterns within. The two most important examples are dimension reduction and clustering.
3. Reinforcement learning, in which an agent (e.g., a robot or controller) seeks to learn the optimal actions to take based the outcomes of past actions.

What are the Applications of Machine Learning ?

1. Image recognition
2. Speech recognition
3. Medical diagnosis
4. Statistical Arbitrage
5. Learning Associations
6. Classification
7. Prediction
8. Extraction
9. Regression
10. Financial services
