4.      Automatic car driving
5.      Protecting Animals
6.      Mobile applications
7.      CyberSecurity
8.      detecting fraud at banks
9.      identifying which consumers are most likely to respond favorably to: direct mail, Groupon deals, Facebook advertisements
10.  trading stocks and derivatives
11.  pricing insurance premiums (Google recently funded a startup that helps natural disaster insurance companies determine prices based on weather patterns due to global warming)
12.  identifying human genes that make people more likely to develop cancer
13.  predicting housing prices for real estate companies
14.  predicting wine-tasting ratings
15.  programmatically reading text from a random photograph
16.  programmatically recognizing faces
17.  anti-virus software (packet inspection)
18.  factory maintenance diagnostics
19.  delayed airplane flights
20.  determining which voters to canvass during an election
21.  developing pharmaceutical drugs (combinatorial chemistry)
22.  predicting tastes in music (Pandora)

25.  predicting interests (Facebook)
26.  predicting other books you might like (Amazon)




 Add more applications on any areas including NLP, Text Mining, Sentiment Analysis, E-Learning, etc. There are many tasks inside each application. Say for example,

Medical Diagnosis have
  1.     Predicting Emergency Room Wait Times
  2.   Identifying Heart Failure
  3.    Predicting Strokes and Seizures
  4.   Predicting Hospital Readmissions 
Expecting more applications from you people. Add more to this list.

Machine Learning - Five different areas

Machine Learning - Introduction

As we all know the basics of Machine Learning (ML) and thus we directly continue with the five important and different areas of ML. The diagram below shows the five areas of ML.

Five different areas of Machine Learning



Let we discuss each area and its applications (different fields (real time) where each type is popular) in the future posts.
