What is machine learning?

Machine learning, belongs to the field of computer science and artificial intelligence, and is concerned with the development of algorithms, which are beyond classical programming and are used to perform complicated calculations, classifications, estimations and more.

Machine learning affects our lives in a wide variety of fields, including computer vision applications, text processing, image processing, cyber security, automation, gaming and more.

How does machine learning helps to analyze information and perform complex statistical calculations?Machine learning closed to the field of statistics, so using it for predicting and developing models is crucial. Because this field is parallel to data mining and pattern recognition, it provides high-quality and effective tools for dealing with large data bases. However, when dealing with machine learning methods in cases of large databases such as tables with many fields or a very large amount of unstructured knowledge, the importance of statistical consulting comes into the picture.
Does the machine bypass the human brain, or is it the opposite? The human brain has tremendous complexity. Countless connections between a huge amount of neurons. Machine learning, despite the impressive achievements have been achieved in the field that even sometimes bypasses human ability, is still far from human brain capacity. In the result test, the two combined are what lead to the most accurate and effective conclusions. Complete the larger of its parts – earn the benefits of the human brain and machine learning.

A statistical consultant who is aided by the advanced data processing obtained through advanced machine learning technologies, is capable of advanced data processing for model building, forecasting and survival analysis, cluster analysis and more. Since all of these models are based on very complex statistical algorithms, the goal is to take advantage of all machine learning benefits and combine effective and empowering human intervention by the statistics consultant.

In addition, the combined use of machine learning methods with classical statistical tools upgrades the statistical consulting ability, and provides the statistics consultant with powerful tools for calculating, understanding, analyzing, drawing conclusions, etc.
