Machine Learning

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI). It is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. Computers will automatically learn and improve with experience. In the past two decades, machine learning has gradually changed our lives, and given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome. Machine learning algorithms have potential to create computers which can out-perform human in many areas. It is not only a new technology, it has potential to impact human society in a revolutionary way.
