“Machine Learning is the field of study that gives the computer the ability to learn
without being explicitly programmed.” – Arthur Samuel (1959)
“A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of
tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by
P, improves with experience E.” – Tom Mitchell (1998)
