1.1 Machine Learning Overview

Machine Learning (ML) is a technique of data analysis that lets computers learn from and base decisions on data without direct programming. It uses algorithms to find patterns, get better over time, and automate tasks making it necessary to solve hard data-driven problem

Machine learning helps businesses make faster, smarter decisions by uncovering insights from large data sets. It enables automation, enhances customer experiences, optimizes operations, and supports predictive capabilities, leading to cost savings, efficiency, and competitive advantage across various industries.

• What Is Machine Learning?
  Machine learning is a technique that discovers previously unknown relationships in data.
• Benefits of Machine Learning
  Machine learning is a powerful technology that can help you find patterns and relationships within your data.
• Define Your Business Problem
  Enterprises face problems such as classifying documents, predicting the financial outcomes, detecting hidden patterns and anomalies, and so on. Machine learning can help solve such problems provided that you have clear understanding of the business problem with enough data and learn to ask the right questions to obtain meaningful results.
• What Do You Want to Do?
  Multiple machine learning techniques, also referred to as "mining function", are available through Oracle Database and Oracle Autonomous Database. Depending on your business problem, you can identify the appropriate mining function, or combination of mining functions, and select the algorithm or algorithms that may best support the solution.
• Discover More Through Interfaces
  Oracle supports programming language interfaces for SQL, R, and Python, and no-code user interfaces such as OML AutoML UI and Oracle Data Miner, and REST model management and deployment through OML Services.
