system. It aims to find the best policy to solve a given stragetic problem based on a trial and error iterative scheme. It is the learning system commonly used in self learning systems and games that improves their performance over time. To understand the philosophy, we only have to look at children, how they learn to walk and how they stop touching candles or burning appliances. It is based on feedback of their previous attempts that impart new knowledge to them over time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7b4b08e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7b4b08e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a064fcd\" data-id=\"a064fcd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcf2761 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fcf2761\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Applications_of_Machine_learning\"><\/span>Applications of Machine learning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9de0ef8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9de0ef8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0e2bcfe\" data-id=\"0e2bcfe\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fce576 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6fce576\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Machine learning finds applications anywhere data can be harvested, and there is a need for insight acquisition and automated problem-solving; thus, its use cases are endless.
