7 key skills required for Machine Learning jobs
Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. Machine Learning is usually associated with artificial intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to do certain tasks, such as recognition, diagnosis, planning, robot control, prediction, etc., without being explicitly programmed. It focuses on the development of algorithms that can teach themselves to grow and change when exposed to new data. In a way, the process of Machine Learning is similar to that of Data Mining. Both search through data to look for patterns. However, instead of extracting data for human comprehension — as is the ... Read More
10 must watch movies on Data Science and Machine Learning

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. Data science and machine learning are powerful technologies innovating the world in ways that sometimes seem straight out of a sci-fi film. Today’s machines are not just capable of tedious tasks, but also using complex mathematics to figure out how to chart a path for a rocket to follow or making weather predictions based on historical data. What better platform to explore the magic of data science and machine learning than film? We’ve rounded up 10 of the best data movies: Ex Machina: The title comes from ... Read More
How do you explain Machine Learning and Data Mining to a layman?
Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. Mango Shopping Suppose you go shopping for mangoes one day. The vendor has laid out a cart full of mangoes. You can handpick the mangoes, the vendor will weigh them, and you pay according to a fixed Rs per Kg rate (typical story in India). Obviously, you want to pick the sweetest, most ripe mangoes for yourself (since you are paying by weight and not by quality). How do you choose the mangoes? You remember your grandmother saying that bright yellow mangoes are sweeter than pale yellow ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. Electronic shopping was introduced back in 1979 when English inventor Michael Aldrich connected a modified TV to a transaction-processing computer via telephone line and opened the information systems for secure data transmission. This technology became the foundation on which the eCommerce as we know it was built. Today, eCommerce is used on a daily basis and living without it seems just complicated and inconvenient. The new technologies and innovations are continuously changing and exponentially improving the user experience and safety which, on the other hand, results in ... Read More
