I’ve always been fascinated by Artificial Intelligence in science fiction. I’m so lucky to live in an era that is seeing the birth of a new kind of Artificial Intelligence, enabled by Big Data, advancement in super computers and Machine Learning. I’m even working in a field that gets to implement that kind of technologies, which continues to excite and fascinate me. Machine learning is today moving out of the realm of pure research to real-world applicability. But like any new cutting-edge technology, we need to beware of products untruthfully using the word Machine Learning in their marketing message or Machine Learning being the cure for all diseases. Therefore, I think it’s important that we spend some time understanding what Machine Learning is, as well as what it does and can do in the industry. Since I’m not an expert on Machine Learning (… yet), I spent some time gathering resources to enhance your Human Learning about Machine Learning. Happy reading!
