How machine learning is different frm coding😕?

Answer 1

Hmm... to me machine learning is applying statistical algorithms (like regression or clustering) to datasets. You utilize programming languages simply to carry out calculations - you can actually do that even in Excel :)

However, due to the fact that statistics is mostly used and known by, well... statisticians :) some languages (because of their syntax simplicity) were chosen as staple food of machine learning - R, Python and recently also Julia. They have their own supporters, very active communities and most modules/libraries are open source.

Machine learning operations are different from "regular coding" in a sense, that most users utilize interactive notebooks rather than regular IDEs and the code flow is not that "block-based" as with normal programs.
