Introduction to Machine Learning
Machine Learning has gained a lot of momentum within development organizations that are actively looking for innovative solutions to leverage their data to identify new levels of understanding their operations and processes. Machine learning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence where the machine learns from data rather than from explicit programming.
