Understanding machine learning

In the year 1959, Arthur Samuel coined the term machine learning. In a gentle rephrasing of his definition of machine learning, the field of computer science that enables machines to learn from past experiences and produce predictions based on them when provided with unknown input is called machine learning.

A more precise definition of machine learning can be stated as follows:

• A computer program that improves its performance, P, on any task, T, by learning from its experience, E, regarding task T, is called a machine learning program.
• Using the preceding definition, in an analogy that is common at the moment, T is a task related to prediction, while P is the measure of accuracy achieved by a computer program ...
