An intro to machine learning (Opensource.com)

Ulrich Drepper, once again an engineer at Red Hat, writesabout machine learning on opensource.com."Machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) mean differentthings to different people, but the newest approaches have one thing incommon: They are based on the idea that a program's output should becreated mostly automatically from a high-dimensional and possibly hugedataset, with minimal or no intervention or guidance from a human. Opensource tools are used in a variety of machine learning and artificialintelligence projects. In this article, I'll provide an overview of thestate of machine learning today."
