Machine Learning is Fascinating

Last Updated on June 7, 2016

Curiosity is a powerful motivator that you can put to work for you.

A need to know more or to understand is a deep-seated human trait that we all have to varying degrees.

In this post I want to share with you three aspects of machine learning that drive my curiosity to know more.

Like me, you can use those aspects that fascinate you about machine learning as touchstones that you can revisitĀ in order to reignite your passion and interest over the months and years you will spend learning about the field.

There is Nothing Like it

Machine learning is fascinating because there is nothing like it.

You cannot achieve the capabilities and results seen by machine learning methods with methods from other fields, and if you could, you would call them machine learning. There are two factors that make machine learning methods different from other methods:

  • They are programs that learn from data
  • They are programs that make programs that address problems

Programs that Learn from Data

Machine learning is fascinating because programs learn from examples.

From the data that you have collected, a machine learning method can automatically analyze
