Revolutionizing Business with ML
Kelwin on Apr 17, 2024
Today, the buzz around machine learning (ML) is louder than ever. But what is it exactly, and more importantly, can it revolutionize your business? In essence, ML is a technology that empowers machines to learn from data, improve over time, and make predictive decisions. It has the potential to redefine how businesses operate.
In this article, we’ll discuss ML in depth, explore its practical applications in the business world, and debunk common misconceptions to show how it can transform your enterprise.
Machine learning is a combination of two words—’machine’ and ‘learning’. To understand it, let’s first define ‘learning’ using an example. Imagine you have a passion for cooking and are trying to perfect a recipe. You make it once, twice, or thrice, and each time, you get better at it. This process of improving at a task through repeated attempts and experiences is what we call learning.
So, ML is essentially a technology that accelerates the process of learning, i.e., getting better at a task. In this case, the task we’re interested in is predictive tasks, and the experience is data. The machine learns to get better at a task as it consumes more data about it. The performance can be measured by any key performance indicator (KPI) you want to track.
ML can be a game-changer for your business. It’s like having a model that gains experience and improves every day at solving a critical task. If the task at hand is crucial for your business, you’re essentially getting a better business every day.
ML is particularly useful for predictive tasks, which can help us make better decisions. It can help businesses improve their decision-making, which is the most strategic task in any business.
There are three types of tasks that we want to automate with machine learning:
One common misconception about ML is that it always involves learning. While that is the ultimate goal, current technology isn’t capable of constantly learning with new data unless you explicitly program it to do so.
In general, ML models have two stages. The first is the training stage, where they observe all the data. The second is the inference or test stage, where they process and provide responses without learning. If you want your model to improve, you need to constantly retrain it by adding a feedback loop.
Even when your ML model’s performance plateaus, it’s important to keep training it. This is because the task you’re solving is likely not static. It’ll change with new market conditions and evolve as your customer base changes. By continuously training your ML models, you can stay on top and evolve as the market changes.
Machine learning can be a powerful tool for your business. It can help you automate tasks, make better decisions, and stay ahead of the market. However, ML is not a self-sufficient learner, so you need to constantly train it to adapt to new challenges.
