Machine learning addresses the question of how to build computers that improve automatically through experience. It is one of today’s most rapidly growing technical fields, lying at the intersection of computer science and statistics, and at the core of artificial intelligence and data science. Recent progress in machine learning has been driven both by the development of new learning algorithms and theory and by the ongoing explosion in the availability of online data and low-cost computation…

APPLICATIONS OF MACHINE LEARNING – REVIEW
TLDR
Advances made in the fields of genetics, material science, and agriculture with the successful use of machine learning are reported.
Machine learning, artificial neural networks and social research
TLDR
This paper will focus its attention on its possible applications in the social sciences and, in particular, on its potential in the data analysis procedures, and will compare the potential of ML with traditional data analysis models.
Advanced Financial Data Processing and Labeling Methods for Machine Learning
TLDR
The potential benefit of advanced financial data preprocessing methods prior to the application of machine learning is investigated and the results of the developed model confirm the relevance of these methods and their ability to address some of the limitations that characterize the research work on price prediction by machine learning.
Machine learning and Design of Experiments: Alternative approaches or complementary methodologies for quality improvement?
TLDR
This paper wants to assess the implications of ML for Design of Experiments (DoE), a statistical methodology widely used in Quality Management for quantifying effects and interactions of factors with influence on the production quality or the process yield and the future role and importance of DoE.
Machine learning and deep learning
TLDR
This article provides a conceptual distinction between relevant terms and concepts, explains the process of automated analytical model building through machine learning and deep learning, and discusses the challenges that arise when implementing such intelligent systems in the field of electronic markets and networked business.
Machine learning for enterprises: Applications, algorithm selection, and challenges
How Machine Learning is Changing e-Government
TLDR
Through the analysis, quite interesting findings have been identified, containing both benefits and barriers from the public sectors' perspective, pinpointing a wide adoption of Machine Learning approaches in the public sector.
TEACHING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING IN MARKETING
TLDR
How marketing educators can introduce AI and ML concepts in their marketing classes and incorporate a cloud-based platform (AzureML Studio) by teaching students to create ML models for customer churn prediction shows that the assignment improved student’s learning.
A Falsificationist Account of Artificial Neural Networks
TLDR
It is argued that the idea of falsification is central to the methodology of machine learning and taking both aspects together gives rise to a falsi-cationist account of arti ficial neural networks.

Computational and statistical tradeoffs via convex relaxation
TLDR
This paper defines a notion of “algorithmic weakening,” in which a hierarchy of algorithms is ordered by both computational efficiency and statistical efficiency, allowing the growing strength of the data at scale to be traded off against the need for sophisticated processing.
