What's Machine Learning?
You can ask computer to do lots of things for you
However, computer can only do what you ask it to do
Computer can never solve the problem you can't solve
Some tasks are very complex
One day, you are asked to write a program for speech recognition
Let the machine lear by itself
Learning ≈ Looking for a Function
