I think its safe to say there are thousands of different ML algorithms because there are an endless list of things we’d like machines to be able to learn. They do break down into a few main categories, but maybe it is best to start with your use case. What are you looking to use ML for?

I’m going to write an article (next week) on this subject, so that I can understand it properly and share it with you for further clarification and context.

Great. I look forward to it. If you are just looking for information on how Neural Networks “learn”, I like this video. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QczhVg5HaI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QczhVg5HaI) It’s quite techincal, but that’s the point.

Hi @brian.verkley

My research into the most relevant machine learning algorithms.

> **[patbi / ml\_algo · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/patbi/ml_algo)**

I’d like to have an opinion on the most widely used machine alrorithms in fields that involve social media for example, healthcare, e-commerce, FinTech to get started with specialization already.
