Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science which focuses on the use of data and algorithms to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving its accuracy. IBM has a rich history with machine learning. Python, when used in machine learning, offers developers of all skill sets exceptional versatility and power. Developers can use Python to develop a variety of applications because it integrates well with other software while its simple syntax makes it a good choice for coding algorithms and collaborating across teams.
