Machine Learning

Abstract

Introduction: Machine Learning[6][8][12] is concerned with the study of building computer programs that automatically improve and/or adapt their performance through experience. Machine learning can be thought of as "programming by example" [11]. Machine learning has many common things with other domains such as statistics and probability theory (understanding the phenomena that have generated the data), data mining (finding patterns in the data that are understandable by people) and cognitive sciences (human learning aspire to understand the mechanisms underlying the various learning behaviors exhibited by people such as concept learning, skill acquisition, strategy change, etc.) [1]. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2011.
