Machine learning is an artificial intelligence technology that enables systems to learn and improve from experience and by exposure to data, without being programmed explicitly. Machine learning techniques can be successfully applied to a wide range of important problems, including robotics, computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, bioinformatics, economy, physics and other fields of science and technology. Additional practical applications of machine learning are found on a daily basis and the set of potential applications is virtually unlimited. In this seminar an introduction to the field of machine learning and deep learning is presented and the major algorithms are discussed.
