Where is Machine Learning Being Applied?

When I give talks on Machine Learning, I often get these questions:

  • What is Machine Learning?
  • What are some Machine Learning Applications?
  • Is Machine Learning Mature?
  • Who is using Machine Learning?
  • How do we get started?

If you are using Google or Bing Search, if you get recommendations for books or other products from Amazon, if you are getting hints for the next word to type on a mobile keyboard, you are already using Machine Learning.

Here is a sample list of Machine Learning applications.
