Introduction to Machine Learning
Bai Xiao
A Few Quotes
• “A breakthrough in machine learning would be worth
ten Microsofts” (Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft)
• “ Machine learning is the next Internet ”
(Tony Tether, Director, DARPA)
• Machine
learning
is
the
hot
new
thing ”
(John Hennessy, President, Stanford)
• “Web rankings today are mostly a matter of machine
learning” (Prabhakar Raghavan, Dir. Research, Yahoo)
• “Machine learning is going to result in a real revolution”
(Greg Papadopoulos, CTO, Sun)
• “ Machine learning is today ’ s discontinuity ”
(Jerry Yang, CEO, Yahoo)
What is “Machine Learning”
• Machine learning is a subfield of computer science that evolved
from the study of pattern recognition and computational
learning theory in artificial intelligence.
• Machine learning explores the study and construction of
algorithms that can learn from and make predictions on data.
• Such algorithms operate by building a model from example
inputs in order to make data-driven predictions or decisions,
rather than following strictly static program instructions.
