Understanding Machine Learning

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Machine Learning for Cyber Agents

Abstract

Machine Learning is an emerging field of the Artificial Intelligence and data science. It is yet to be conceptualised and operationalised to be fully understood in its complexity and entirety. This chapter will consider it in a more detailed way through providing definitions to its constituting elements and analysing the learning process itself, and will review the accompanying factors around it.
