As a kid, you must be excited to know about machine learning, as the name suggests it is a process of teaching machines to help them learn new things with the help of certain rules or by its own, exactly the way we humans learn new things.
The Definition
Let us first understand that machine learning is a process by which includes two things, the first part is a machine and the other part is learning. Now, we must focus on the word learning which is a process of identifying and classifying objects based on certain features and characteristics.
How it works
We can teach machine certain rules and systems of classification. Based on the rules, the machine learns to identify and classify objects based on certain characteristics which it has learned.
How the machines are trained
Training of the machines is done with the help of suitable examples over a period of time. This particular process of training the machine in order to clearly identify and act according to the requirement of the user can be defined as machine learning. For example, if you want your computer to identify your friends by name what you need to do is that at first, you need to train your computer with the pictures of your friend and the characteristics of each of your friend along with their name.
Why we need more examples
The computer will learn with the examples that you have set, and then next time a friend comes to your home, the computer can identify and classify your friend and successfully name them. As more examples are fed into the system, more accurate classification and identification of your friends become easier for your computer. This particular process of helping the computer learn is defined as machine learning.
