\u201cA breakthrough in machine learning would be worth ten Microsofts\u201d. - Bill Gates, Former Chairman, Microsoft<\/em><\/p>

Machine Learning (ML) has been buzzing around for some years. It is the hottest domain in the market and everybody seems to have an opinion about it. You can hear people commenting on it as the future with full conviction. Though you have agreed with them to avoid awkwardness and the embarrassment of being left behind in knowledge, don\u2019t you think you need to get the basics right?<\/p>

This blog is a quick and comprehensive guide to get an uncomplicated foundational knowledge on Machine Learning.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Are Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence the Same?<\/span><\/h2>

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry are talking about Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence<\/a> as though these two terms share the same meaning. Even the media sometimes use the two terms interchangeably promoting further confusion. Knowing the difference between these terms will make you talk about it with clarity.<\/p>

Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence making AI a bigger concept realm. A quick definition of both the terms that differentiates them is as below:<\/p>

\u201cAI is a bigger concept to create intelligent machines that can simulate human thinking capability and behavior, whereas, machine learning is an application or subset of AI that allows machines to learn from data without being programmed explicitly.\u201d Source<\/a><\/p>

AI is the backbone technology that helps machines to simulate human behaviour or mimic human intelligence.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

What is Machine Learning?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Machine learning enhances the learning capability of machines. It exposes computers to new data, empowers them to learn by themselves, and execute operations devoid of any human intervention. A machine endowed with ML capability can build mathematical models based on its pattern recognition algorithms. It identifies and analyses the data pattern and yields the expected outputs (takes decisions) without any human involvement.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
