Abstract
This chapter provides a broad yet methodical introduction to the techniques and practice of machine learning. Machine learning can be used as a tool to create value and insight to help organizations to reach new goals. We have seen the term ‘data-driven’ in earlier chapters and have also realized that data is rather useless until we transform it into information. This transformation of data into information is the rationale for using machine learning.
