Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) focused on building applications that learn from data and improve their accuracy over time without being programmed to do so. In machine learning, algorithms are 'trained' to find patterns and features in massive amounts of data in order to make decisions and predictions based on new data.
The scope of Machine Learning is in various sectors. It is expanding across all fields such as banking and finance, information technology, media & entertainment, health care, gaming, and the automotive industry. As the Machine Learning scope is very high, there are some of the areas where researchers are working toward revolutionizing the world for the future.
