Machine learning is about extracting knowledge from data. It is a research field at the intersection of statistics, artificial intelligence and computer science, which is also known as predictive analytics or statistical learning. The application of machine learning methods has in recent years become ubiquitous in everyday life. From automatic recommendations of which movies to watch, to what food to order or which products to buy, to personalized online radio and recognizing your friends in your photos, many modern websites and devices have machine learning algorithms at their core.
