Explanation / Answer

Machine Learning

1.   Machine learning is a technique or subfield of computers that provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

2.   Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can change when exposed to new data.

3.   Machine learning is closely related to computational statistics, which focuses in prediction making using computers.

4.   Machine learning algorithms are often categorized as being supervised or unsupervised.

a.   Supervised algorithms can apply what has been learned in the past to new data.

b.   Unsupervised algorithms can draw inferences from datasets.

Difference between Machine Learning and Data Mining

1.    Machine Learning relates with the study, design and development of the algorithms that give computers the capability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Data Mining can be defined as the process that starting from apparently unstructured data tries to extract knowledge and/or unknown interesting patterns. During this process machine Learning algorithms are used.

2.    Machine learning is focused on software and systems and the purpose of data mining is finding patterns in databases.

Example where ML is used

It is most widely used in the digital cameras (in all smartphones) for face detection. The face detection that is being done by cameras while taking pictures or creating videos is a feature or application being enabled by Machine Learning.
