Machine Learning - Introduction for Beginners
August 14, 2020•Updated Feb 17, 2026
I tried to keep this as simple as possible, but you'll need at least basic knowledge of Python syntax for this post to be helpful.
What is Machine Learning? Let's understand it through a simple example.
When you have a problem and want the computer to solve it for you and just tell you the result,
the process of the computer solving that problem is what we call machine learning.
For example, let's say you're running a lemonade stand.
Every time you run short on or have leftover lemonade ingredients,
you feed the computer your store's sales data by temperature,
and based on this learning, the computer predicts sales volume for a given temperature.
