ABSTRACT

Machine learning is a discipline in which algorithms are applied to help mine knowledge out of large pools of existing information. It is the science that gives power to computers to perform without being openly programmed. “It is defined by the ability to choose effective features for pattern recognition, classification, and prediction based on the models derived from existing data”. Machine learning is one of the most exciting technologies one could come by. As is apparent from its name, machine learning offers the computer the ability to learn, meaning it can become more like a human. Training data is applied to train machine learning models and, after completion of the training part, testing data is used for unprejudiced valuation of the model. The algorithm clusters the data into various groups based on its concreteness. Data scientists prefer to choose unsupervised learning techniques over supervised learning.
