IJUG Virtual Meetup - Machine Learning Exposed

This was a nice introduction to machine learning. Machine learning is the science of getting machines to learn without being explicitly programmed. The speaker showed several examples. Below are two websites showing machine learning implemented. The first is a picture that is given and the machine must try to match which object it is. The second is a large group of paintings which are sorted based on certain characteristics. There are several ways to give the machine data from which it bases its decisions on. They are supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning. Recommendations were given to check Coursera or Stanford courses if you are interested in learning more.
