Machine Learning is Label Making Data-Based Projections

    • Technology

Label Making. That is my simple two-word definition of Machine Learning. Machine Learning is Label Making. ML is LM. 
Especially supervised machine learning, which creates either numerical labels (using regression algorithms) to make predictions about a continuous data value (such as sale or stock prices), or categorical labels (using classification algorithms) to assign data to pre-defined groups also called classes (such as Fraud or Not Fraud for financial transactions).
