I don't think it makes sense to partition machine learning into computer science and statistics. Computer scientists invented the name machine learning, and it's part of computer science, so in ...

Machine-learning algorithms use statistics to find patterns in massive* amounts of data. And data, here, encompasses a lot of things—numbers, words, images, clicks, what have you.

How can a machine learn from experience? Probabilistic modelling provides a framework for understanding what learning is, and has therefore emerged as one of the principal theoretical and ...
