The Rise of Machine Learning

Lesson goals

• Growing digital data
• Improved algorithms and compute
• Measurable performance

Core idea

The shift from writing rules to learning patterns from data.

1. Growing digital data: understand it in context, identify inputs and outputs, and define how the result will be verified.

2. Improved algorithms and compute: understand it in context, identify inputs and outputs, and define how the result will be verified.

3. Measurable performance: understand it in context, identify inputs and outputs, and define how the result will be verified.

Practical example

Consider a real application of “The Rise of Machine Learning.” Start small, identify available data, and compare the system with a clear baseline before expanding it.

Check your understanding
