What is Machine Learning?“Computing system that improve with experience”Optimise a desired output or prediction using historical experiential data

Example - Recommendations


Example – Office 365 Clutter“Clutter learns from your actions to determine the messages you are likely to ignore. As less important messages arrive, they are automatically moved to the Clutter folder. Clutter does this by leveraging Office Graph’s sophisticated machine learning techniques to determine which messages are Clutter. It gets smarter over time, learning from your prior actions with similar messages, and assessing things like the type of content and even how you are addressed in the message. The Clutter experience is personalized to each individual and reflects an email experience that adapts to your actions and preferences without you having to do anything.”

20 December Macy’s Herald Square, New York New York, USA 369.00 USD

Which of the following transactions is a fraud case? (Based on real events)

None, all were real! Last transaction looked fraudulent, bank investigation followed Machine Learning doesn’t provide definite facts but predictions

Azure Machine Learning algorithms

Regression:Predict one or more continuous variables, based on other attributes in the dataset

Classification:Classify data into different categories that can then be used to predict one or more discrete variables, based on other attributes in the dataset


Put your Model to (good) Use• Published Model available via REST API for

single or batch requests• Create your own applications (web app,

desktop, mobile, …) that consume it

• Publish your final Model in the “Cortana Intelligence Gallery”

• Publish your ML Web Service in the Azure Marketplace
