Machine learning as a substantial part of Artificial Intelligence

A lot of the industries that work with large amounts of data have recognized the importance of machine learning technology. There are many studies showing that companies which use machine learning for decision-making are over 50% more profitable in comparison to the companies that don’t. Machine learning allows companies to work more effectively by gaining insights from this data in real time.

Machine Learning is a procedure of analyzing data that automates the building of analytical models. It uses methods like neural networks or gradient boosting or borrows some from statistics, operations research and physics to find hidden insights in data and identify patterns without being explicitly programmed where to look or what to conclude. Machine learning is a substantial part of artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence has been around for a long time — it was found in 1956, and today has gained huge success and progress. Artificial Intelligence enables the ability of a computer or robot to perform some tasks connected with intelligence. For that reason, the main objectives of AI are learning, planning, reasoning, knowledge, perception, natural language processing, and the ability to move or manipulate objects. In the twenty-first century, the AI has become a necessary, fundamental part of the technology industry, and it has been used for solving many technology problems.

Machine Learning, as a part of artificial intelligence, allows applications to read a text and find out if the person who wrote the text is making a complaint or is offering congratulations. They can also listen to music, decide whether it is likely to make someone happy or sad, and find other music to improve the mood. Another example is that machine learning is able to make drastic improvements to computer vision — the ability of a machine to recognize an object in an image or a video.

Machine learning can also be used for solving issues like credit card fraud, enabling self-driving cars and doing face detection and recognition. It uses complex algorithms that constantly iterate over large data sets, analyzing the patterns in data and facilitating machines to respond to different situations for which they have not been explicitly programmed. The machines learn from history to produce reliable results. The algorithms of machine learning use Computer Science and Statistics to predict rational outputs.

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence. That means that all machine learning counts as AI, but not all AI counts as machine learning. For example, symbolic logic — rules engines, expert systems, and knowledge graphs — all of this can be described as AI, and none of them are machine learning.

One side that separates machine learning from the data graphs and knowledgeable systems is its ability to change itself once exposed to a lot of data; i.e. machine learning is dynamic and doesn’t need human intervention to create bound changes. That makes it less brittle, and less reliant on human experts.
