Machine learning is used to develop algorithms capable of obtaining input data and using statistical analysis to predict output based on the type of available data. These machine learning algorithms are categorized as supervised, unsupervised and reinforced learning where all of these algorithms have numerous infinite applications such as Image & Voice Recognition, Video Surveillance, Social Media Network, Spam and Malware Detection, Customer Service, Search Engine, Fraud Detection and Prediction etc

Machine Learning Uses

Machine learning implementations are infinite and there are many machine learning algorithms available to learning. They are available from simple to highly complex, in every form.

Top 10 Machine-learning uses are:

1.    Image Recognition

It is one of the most popular applications for the machine learning. It can also be referred to as a digital image, and the calculation defines the output of each pixel in an image for such images. Face recognition is also one of the great features that pure machine learning has created. It helps people identify the face and submit the associated updates.

In the case of a black and white image, the intensity of each pixel serves as one measurement. So if a black and white image has N*N pixels, the total number of pixels and measurement is N2.

In the coloured image, each pixel considered as providing 3 measurements of the intensities of 3 main colour components ie RGB. So N*N coloured image there are 3 N2 measurements.

• For face detection –The categories might be face versus no face present. There might be a separate category for each person in a database of several individuals.
• For character recognition– We can segment a piece of writing into smaller images, each containing a single character.  The categories might consist of the 26 letters of the English alphabet, the 10 digits, and some special characters.

2.    Voice Recognition

Speech recognition (SR) is the translation of spoken words into text. It is also known as “automatic speech recognition” (ASR), “computer speech recognition”, or “speech to text” (STT). Machine learning ( ML) helps also to improve the voice recognition program. It also known as Virtual Personal Assistants (VPA). It will help you to find the information when asked over the voice. After your question, that assistant will look for the data or the information you have asked and gather the information you need to give you the best answer. In today’s world of machine learning, there are several tools available for voice recognition that is the Amazon echo and the smart speakers are the home googles. There is a mobile app called Google allo, and the Samsung S8 and Bixby smartphones.

3.  Medical Diagnosis

ML offers processes, procedures, and tools that can help in a range of medical fields to solve diagnostic and prognostic problems. This is used to evaluate the value of clinical parameters and their combinations for prognosis, e.g. for predicting disease progression, for extracting medical knowledge for study outcomes, for preparing and promoting treatment, and for general patient management. ML is also used for data analysis, such as data regularity detection by properly handling imperfect data, continuous data interpretation in the intensive care unit, and intelligent alarming resulting in accurate and efficient monitoring
The main interest in medical diagnosis is to determine the presence of a disease followed by a specific description of it. In each disease under consideration there is a different category, and one category in cases where there is no disease. Here machine learning by analyzing patient data increases the accuracy of the medical diagnosis.

The measures in this Machine Learning framework are usually the outcomes of other medical tests ( e.g. blood pressure, temperature and other blood tests) or medical conditions ( e.g. medical images), the presence / absence / intensity of different symptoms, and basic physical details about the patient (age , sex, weight, etc.).

4. Social Media Platform

Social networking is used to provide better news feed and ads, while the interest of the user is achieved primarily through the use of machine learning only. There are several sources on YouTube including recommendations for friends, Facebook page recommendations, albums, and suggestions for videos. This operates primarily on the straightforward principle based on the experience of the user, in which they get linked and quite often visit the profiles or websites, recommendations are being given to the user accordingly. This also includes the technique for extracting valuable data from photographs and videos.

5. Predictions

It helps in developing the applications that forecast the cab or travel price for a given time and traffic congestion where it can be found. While booking the cab and the app, it estimates the approximate price of the trip which is only done through the use of machine learning. When we use GPS service to check the route from source to destination, the app will show us the different ways to go and check the traffic at that time for the smaller number of vehicles and where the traffic congestion is more done or retrieved by the application of machine learning.

6. Spam & Malware

Email clients use a variety of spam filtering and these spam filters are constantly being modified, often by machine learning applications. Rule-based, multi-layer, and tree induction are some of the techniques that machine learning offers. Likewise, a range of malware were found, and these are mainly found by system security programs, which are mostly only supported by machine learning.

7. Search Engine

There are search engines used to provide the best results for customers when searching. There are several machine learning algorithms generated to search the user’s specific query, such as for google. How the website users often open for a single subject that will stay at the top of the page for a long time to come.

8. Customer Service

Many reputable businesses, or several websites, provide the opportunity to chat with a representative of customer service. So, after the customer asks for any question, it is not necessary that the response is provided by the person only, often the answers are given by the chatbot, which extracts the details from the website and provides the response to the customers. Today they ‘re stronger and understand the questions faster and faster, and they still produce a good result by providing correct answers, and it’s achieved only by the use of machine learning.

9. Fraud Detection

It is being used by the companies to keep track of money laundering like Paypal. It uses the set of tools to help them to check or compare the millions of transactions and make secure transactions.

10. Apps

Most apps and businesses use machine learning to conduct their everyday process because it is more reliable and efficient than manual interventions. Netflix, twitter, google maps, Gmail , Google search etc.
