Learning from data is close to what we do, as humans. From our experience, we intuitively learn general facts and relations about the world, even if we don't fully understand its complexity. The increasing computational power of computers makes them able to learn from data, too. That's the heart of machine learning, a modern and fascinating branch of artificial intelligence, computer science, statistics, and applied mathematics.
This featured recipe is a hands-on introduction to the most fundamental concepts in machine learning. These concepts are routinely used by data scientists. We will illustrate them withscikit-learn, a popular and user-friendly Python package for machine learning.
