The term Machine Learning (ML) is much in use now, but few understand it for exactly what it is. Ultimately ML is something that uses statistics to find patterns across huge quantities of data warehousing done. Some key digital- era giants such as Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Baidu, Google and YouTube are all at the forefront of this. Social media companies and search engines use this data to mobilize their digital marketing efforts, even using voice assistants in the process. It all owes to an invention dating back to the year 1986, by Geoffrey Hinton. The related field is called deep learning, but this one goes even more to the depths, and in much quicker time. Neural networks work similar to how the human brain is wired. This ML comes in three major forms. These are known as supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning.
