What is Machine Learning?

I read full article from Microsoft on definition of Machine Learning, on type of Machine Learning and how these different types of Machine learning works.

In summery, what I found most interesting, is that it is all about y=f(x). Its Math 101, isn’t it amazing, I never thought that Machine Learning can be this simple.

In simple term y is your prediction or output or in Microsoft term “Inference”. x is input to the function f, again in Microsoft term function is “Model”.

Whole objective of the Machine Learning is to put function f in place so that we will always get y when x is provided to the function. And this process is called “Training”

So y=f(x) is basically training the model to produce accurate (most accurate) results.

Voila! Congratulations, you understand Machine Learning now.
