ML and IoT

ML, a subset of artificial intelligence, aims to build computer programs with an ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. In this age of big data, with data being generated at break-neck speed, it isn't humanly possible to go through all of the data and understand it manually. According to an estimate by Cisco, a leading company in the field of IT and networking, IoT will generate 400 zettabytes of data a year by 2018. This suggests that we need to look into automatic means of understanding this enormous data, and this is where ML comes in.
