To further illustrate the capabilities of such technologies, we will explore the NORA technology in this article. For further information on the basics of machine learning the following (Dutch) article is available on IThappens. In other words, you could say that data mining explains the patterns and machine learning predicts with models. Whereas machine learning makes use of a computer to predict individual outcomes using a dataset to create an algorithm.
Put simply, data mining is carried out by a person who is looking for a pattern in a specific dataset in a specific situation. To better understand what technologies such as Non-Obvious Relationship Awareness (NORA) could do, an understanding of data mining and machine learning is useful. However, machine learning can do much more than those two examples. Or that applications such as Siri, Alexa, and Cortana have a basis in machine learning.
Some might know that email providers use machine learning to filter spam. However, few people have an idea of the power such techniques hold and the impact that they have on our daily lives. Most people have heard of terms such as ‘Data Mining’ and ‘Machine Learning’.
