Emulating Human Learning

It all starts with the perceptive nerves. Signals are interpreted and conclusions are made, actions are taken. Lets simplify this assume a new situation is perceived - step one compare with past experiences - no match , do a close match , approx match - and that's what experience is all about.

Information age is ripe to emulate human learning. Big data, immense parallel processing grids availability and algorithms. Algorithms that's right - termed machine learning. It’s not an exact science but we humans are all about [not perfection] but intelligent enough to correlate and approximate.

Regression, Classification [Supervised] and Clustering [Unsupervised] are various methods for learning. Supervised Learning draws from historical data while, unsupervised methods can, charter completely unknown territories. So next decade may see ,advent of machines providing second opinions to human judgment.


As I write my thoughts Business houses are in process of deploying technologies to make this a reality. Don't be surprised if next time your teller machine recognize your mood , and provides you options accordingly. As we humans do...
