Machine learning could be used to help patients with schizophrenia, who often fear treatment due to stigma. Recent research ...

ML (machine learning) is handy stuff. Now that public cloud computing has made it cheap, I’m seeing all types of cloud-based applications applying this technology effectively.

For example, reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning, which is a subfield of artificial intelligence. However, artificial intelligence isn’t (necessarily) reinforcement learning.

This type of machine learning doesn’t involve labels whatsoever. Instead, the program is blindly thrown into the task of splitting images of boys and girls into two groups using one of two methods.

Machine learning is represented by the right side of the above diagram, labeled, “Statistical Reasoning.” There are two types of machine learning, unsupervised and supervised.

Supervised learning is a machine learning approach in which algorithms are trained on labelled datasets—that is, data that already includes the correct outputs or classifications. The model learns to ...

YouTube will start using machine learning to determine whether viewers should be on a teen account. The company said it plans ...

Machine learning excels in all sorts of pattern recognition—in medical imaging, financial services (“is this a fraudulent credit-card transaction?”), and even IT management (“if the server ...

The same type of machine learning methods used to pilot self-driving cars and beat top chess players could help type-1 diabetes sufferers keep their blood glucose levels in a safe range. Scientists at ...
