INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE LEARNING
Introduction Machine learning refers to the development of learning algorithms, which enable computers to automatically execute tasks without the need for human intervention (Schapire 2003). With application learning techniques, computers are able to come up with their own programs for solving a problem, and these are based on the examples that the computers are provided. In particular, some of the questions that the discipline of machine learning aims to answer are: 1.) How computer systems that automatically improve with experience can be built; and 2.) What the fundamental laws are that govern all learning processes (Mitchell 2006). ...
