Ask most people outside academia or Silicon Valley what comes to mind when they hear the term “machine learning” and you’re likely to get a response that involves a movie like “The Matrix” or “Ex Machina.” You’re less likely to hear how it’s a great tool for fraud detection or supply chain optimization, and that’s too bad. Machine learning has a tremendous range of business applications, from optimizing data centers to predicting fine wine price changes to retail market basket analysis. With that in mind, I hope to cut through the science fiction clutter and misconceptions so you can consider how machine learning relates to your business.
