Who coined the term machine learning and when did this happen?
Arthur Samuel coined the term machine learning in 1959 while working at IBM. He created a computer program that could calculate winning chances in checkers for each side.
Questions about Machine learning
Short answers, pulled from the story.
What are the three distinct types of modern-day machine learning algorithms based on feedback?
Modern-day machine learning algorithms break into supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning based on how they receive feedback. Supervised learning presents computers with example inputs and desired outputs given by a teacher. Unsupervised learning operates without labels or explicit guidance to identify commonalities in data.
When did Raytheon Company develop the experimental learning machine called Cybertron?
Raytheon Company developed an experimental learning machine called Cybertron by the early 1960s. Time magazine reported on its mechanism under the headline Science: The Goof Button on the 18th of August 1961.
Which organizations won the Netflix Prize competition held in 2006?
A joint team comprising researchers from AT&T Labs-Research along with Big Chaos and Pragmatic Theory won the Grand Prize in 2009 for one million dollars. They achieved this goal shortly after Netflix realized viewer ratings were not best indicators of viewing patterns.
How many years passed between the introduction of Tensor Processing Units and their becoming key components of AI infrastructure?
Tensor Processing Units became key components of AI infrastructure since their introduction in 2016. These units are optimized tensor computations making particularly efficient deep learning tasks such training inference widely used Google Cloud AI services.
