\nSo what exactly is Machine Learning?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Machine Learning is simply making a computer perform a task without explicitly programming it. If we impose business rules to build a system and not let the machine find patterns on its own, we will not be able to put up with the versatility of the data that comes in.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explain this with an example. Suppose we manually looked through data to find patterns and coded our systems such that if I fall in the age range of 30-40 and I am a male, I would like product X more than product Y. What we did not consider is the personalization parameter. What if I am the odd one out who likes product Y? Even if I give some meaningful feedback about my choices like product ratings, reviews etc. it won\u2019t be possible for a manually driven system to consume that information for all customers and recommend the right product for each customer.<\/p>\n

Here machine learning becomes more of a necessity than a luxury if we want to be ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n

What are the skills required to be a data scientist who uses machine learning?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s more of a broader question. Let\u2019s say the perfect data scientist is a person who possesses vast<\/p>\n
