Exploring the Machine Learning Landscape

Machine learning (ML) is an amazing subfield of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that tries to mimic the learning behavior of humans. Similar to the way a baby learns by observing the examples it encounters, an ML algorithm learns the outcome or response to a future incident by observing the data points that are provided as input to it.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • ML versus software engineering
  • Types of ML methods
  • ML terminology—a quick review
  • ML project pipeline
  • Learning paradigm
  • Datasets
