ABSTRACT

The beginning of the 21st century also saw a new beginning for an entirely new generation of technology, software, and computers. The amount of time, effort, money, and research invested in this new generation helped bring about massive advances in the field which were of little relevance just a few years before. People started to focus on technologies like artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, and deep learning to help them with problems ranging from day-to-day activities to solving complex problems in fields such as healthcare, medicine, agriculture, defense, and science.

The simplest definition of machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence where computers can be programmed in such a way that they can learn information and process data without the intervention of any human. Machine learning can also be described as a way by which a machine learns with the help of data. When a machine is supplied with some data, the data are first processed, then interpreted to find the underlying patterns and algorithms being used, in order to identify the correct relation between the datasets we have to hand.
