The Art of Machine Learning

<p>There is one field known as Machine Learning (ML) that has researchers and enthusiasts alike completely enthralled. This field is the subtle dance that takes place between the progress of humans and the advancement of technology. This revolutionary technology which can analyze massive databases and generate predictions has the potential to completely change the way our society works. But how does it stack up against the peak of natural development which is human intelligence?</p><p>The e-book The Art of Machine Learning: Bridging Human Intelligence and Automated Learning begins on a journey to study the interesting interplay between the intrinsic learning capacities of humans and the programmed intelligence of machines. The goal of this journey is to bridge the gap between human intelligence and automated learning. As we go deeper into the <br />chapters readers will learn about the historical foundations of machine learning (ML) its fundamental principles and how it compares and contrasts with the <br />many facets that make up the spectrum of human cognition.</p><p>Learning adapting and developing further over the course of many millions of years is what makes humans unique. Our neural networks are made of organic <br />material. The complexity of the human brain with its capacity for feeling intuition and creative thought continues to be a wonder. On the other hand machine <br />learning despite being artificial holds up the possibility of faster data processing more precision and greater scalability than is possible with human cognition.</p>
