## Idea Wikipedia describes [machine learning](http://wikipedia.org/Machine_learning) as: > a scientific discipline that deals with the construction and study of algorithms that can learn from data. Such algorithms operate by building a model based on inputs :2 and using that to make predictions or decisions, rather than following only explicitly programmed instructions. ## Details ## [[Neural networks]] ## [[Bayesian methods]] ## [[Support vector machines]] ## Software ### [Torch]() ### [SirIsaac]() ## References
