What is Machine Learning?

I believe ML, AI, DS stuffs like that are the booming fields in the 21st century. Everyone is running behind these things and cramming up some pgmg language( python, the most common victim) and then mugging up some ML algorithms which are actually all math. All hoping to end up in some very high paying jobs at google, fb etc and not minding the original dream or aim of the subject.

What actually is Machine Learning?
It is just making the machine learn. Generally, It can be supervised,( you show things to the machine and teach it). The machine learning algorithm inside the machine hears all we say and frame something in its mind (a set of decisions). And then it tries to classify new inputs to produce corresponding outputs. It can be unsupervised in which we don't tell the machine and the algo automatically tries to classify or separate the inputs to trace/find out a pattern in which the input data might be spread.  (Ex. classification)

("Machine" is the computer which is having ML algo in it)

Whom should we listen to? - heart or head

This is a common question we all come across: there is often a deep clash between the thoughts from the head and the feelings from the heart...
