Machine Learning: A Brief Introduction And Critical Aspects

Machine Learning is a subcategory of Artificial Intelligence that enables a smart machine to improve its capabilities and performance over time. This is done by algorithms that can develop a reasoning model based on a provided set of data and adjust it according to its experience. Alan Turing was the first to show interest in this field and since then, the technology has continued to improve. There are three main types of machine learning systems: supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning. Additionally, deep learning is a sub-category of machine learning that is used mainly for recognition tasks such as speech and image recognition.
