It’s impossible to diminish the buzz around machine learning. Almost every industry existing today is running after it.
Machine learning is something that has earned recognition in the business industry but is still not-so-familiar for a layman’s understanding. So before getting into details of machine learning let’s look at what it actually is.
What Actually is Machine Learning?
“Machine learning refers to the process by which computers develop pattern recognition, or the ability to continuously learn from and make predictions based on data, then make adjustments without being specifically programmed to do so,” writes Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
In other and simpler words, It is the technology by which computers are in a state of conscious learning, improving, acting and analyzing large volumes of information.
To understand Machine learning in a better way. Let’s take an example of the latest product of its technology; Facial Recognition. Facial recognition is the area of machine earing that is improving day by day. With its existence in different industries, its helping improves the work quality of most of the targeted sectors. For instance, Facial Recognition helps law enforcement agencies in catching fraud activities.
This technology also allows Google photos in making user experience to improve by starting out people in the photos.
Improvements like these have modified the working of industries profoundly. The marketing industry has been expanding its process of communicating to the audience, thanks to machine learning. Like I said above machine learning keeps the potential to work with large volumes of information which humans can’t do. Therefore, marketers are taking benefit of this feature.

These are just SOME of the ways we Machine Learning shows its utmost efficiency.
