What is machine learning?
AI and Machine Learning have become technical buzzwords, but the fundamental goal of machine learning algorithms is to teach computers how to successfully and automatically interpret data that they have never 'seen' before. Machine learning is a valuable tool to improve our ability to solve problems and make informed decisions based on a wide range of complex problems; from helping diagnose diseases from symptoms to proposing solutions to address climate change. Machines that learn are useful because with all of their processing power, they can quickly highlight or find patterns in large data sets that are otherwise time-consuming to find using a manual process. Working in conjunction with Cardiff University and numerous other institutions, Idwal we are applying these latest techniques to the Maritime Industry.
