IDG Contributor Network: The many (emerging) faces of machine learning

You may not realize it, but you probably come across machine learning just about everywheremdash;in retail, health care, public transportation and moremdash;and itrsquo;s only going to increase in ways that we canrsquo;t even imagine.While you probably had conversations with chatbots on websites or calls with customer servicemdash;there are many other types of machine learning applications that are silently working behind the scenes, including those that help organizations predict patterns and behaviors.These apps are able to sift through huge amounts of data and make sense of itmdash;once they have been “taughtrdquo; what to look for.

This has created demand for data scientists to build algorithms that can find patterns to predict outcomes and behaviors.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
