I. Introduction<br />

1.1 What is Machine Learning? - Definitions<br />

Machine Learning is the field of scientific study that concentrates on induction algorithms<br />

and on other algorithms that can be said to “learn”.<br />

Machine Learning Journal, Kluwer Acadnemic<br />

Machine Learning is an area of artificial intelligence involving developing techniques to<br />

allow computers to “learn”. More specifically, machine learning is a method for creating<br />

computer programs by the analysis of data sets, rather than the intuition of engineers.<br />

Machine learning overlaps heavily with statistics, since both fields study the analysis of<br />

data.<br />

Webster Dictionary<br />

Machine learning is a branch of statistics and computer science, which studies algorithms<br />

and architectures that learn from data sets.<br />
