Abstract
From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the following quote: “Machine learning is a field of computer science th at aims to provide computer systems with the ability to “learn” (i.e., progressi vely improve performance on a specific task) with data, without being explicitly programmed. Approaches for machine learning include decision tree learning, art ificial neural networks (e.g., deep learning networks, support vector machines, genetic algorithms, and others.”
