What is machine learning?
What is machine learning: The term “Machine Learning” was coined in 1959. It evolved from many fields including Statistical Learning, Pattern Recognition and so on. The goal of machine learning is to make computers “learn” from “data”. From an end user's perspective, it is about understanding your data, make predictions and decisions. Intellectually, it is a collection of models, methods and algorithms that have evolved over more than a half-century now
What is learning: Falsifiability is fundamental to learning. If a theory is falsifiable then it is learnable - i.e. admits a strategy that predicts optimally. An analogous result is shown for universal induction.
A theory that explains everything, [predicts] nothing.
