More specifically, machine learning is a method for creating computer programs by the analysis of data sets. Machine learning overlaps heavily with statistics, since both fields study the analysis of data, but unlike statistics, machine learning is concerned with the algorithmic complexity of computational implementations. Many inference problems turn out to be NP-hard so part of machine learning research is the development of tractable approximate inference algorithms.•Machine learning has a wide spectrum of applications including search engines, medical diagnosis, detecting credit card fraud, stock market analysis, classifying DNA sequences, speech and handwriting recognition, game playing and robot locomotion.CS 536 – Ahmed Elgammal - - 5 •5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,Iris-setosa •4.9,3.0,1.4,0.2,Iris-setosa •4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,Iris-setosa •4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,Iris-setosa •5.0,3.6,1.4,0.2,Iris-setosa•7.0,3.2,4.7,1.4,Iris-versicolor •6.4,3.2,4.5,1.5,Iris-versicolor •6.9,3.1,4.9,1.5,Iris-versicolor •5.5,2.3,4.0,1.3,Iris-versicolor •6.4,2.7,5.3,1.9,Iris-virginica •6.8,3.0,5.5,2.1,Iris-virginica •5.7,2.5,5.0,2.0,Iris-virginica •5.8,2.8,5.1,2.4,Iris-virginica •6.4,3.2,5.3,2.3,Iris-virginicaCS 536 – Ahmed Elgammal - - 6
