Practical Machine Learning

Some complementing fields of Machine learning

Machine learning has a close relationship to many related fields including artificial intelligence, data mining, statistics, data science, and others listed shortly. In fact, Machine learning is in that way a multi-disciplinary field, and in some ways is linked to all of these fields.

In this section, we will define some of these fields, draw parallels to how they correlate to Machine learning, and understand the similarities and dissimilarities, if any. Overall, we will start with the core Machine learning definition as a field of science that includes developing self-learning algorithms. Most of the fields we are going to discuss now either use machine learning techniques or a superset or subset of ...
