Machine learning has garnered a lot of attention in the past few years. The reason behind this might be the high amount of data from applications, the ever-increasing computational power, the development of better algorithms, and a deeper understanding of data science. We have already talked about artificial intelligence (AI) in a previous blog post. In this opportunity, we will learn about machine learning, what it is and how it works with examples and ITSM applications.
