algorithms as discussed in this course, which in turn are fundamentally rooted in optimization and
statistical learning.
</p>

<p>Traditionally the field of machine learning has had its main focus on
predictions and correlations. These concepts outline in some sense
the difference between machine learning and what is normally called
Bayesian statistics or Bayesian inference.
</p>
<p>In machine learning and prediction based tasks, we are often
interested in developing algorithms that are capable of learning
patterns from given data in an automated fashion, and then using these
learned patterns to make predictions or assessments of newly given
data. In many cases, our primary concern is the quality of the
predictions or assessments, and we are less concerned with the
underlying patterns that were learned in order to make these
predictions. This leads to what normally has been labeled as a
frequentist approach.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2 id="not-so-sharp-distinctions">Not so sharp distinctions </h2>
<p>You should keep in mind that the division between a traditional
frequentist approach with focus on predictions and correlations only
and a Bayesian approach with an emphasis on estimations and
causations, is not that sharp. Machine learning can be frequentist
with ensemble methods (EMB) as examples and Bayesian with Gaussian
Processes as examples.
</p>
<p>If one views ML from a statistical learning
perspective, one is then equally interested in estimating errors as
one is in finding correlations and making predictions. It is important
to keep in mind that the frequentist and Bayesian approaches differ
mainly in their interpretations of probability. In the frequentist
world, we can only assign probabilities to repeated random
phenomena. From the observations of these phenomena, we can infer the
probability of occurrence of a specific event. In Bayesian
statistics, we assign probabilities to specific events and the
probability represents the measure of belief/confidence for that
event. The belief can be updated in the light of new evidence.

===== What is the link between Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and some general Remarks =====
Artificial intelligence is built upon integrated machine learning
algorithms as discussed in this course, which in turn are fundamentally rooted in optimization and
statistical learning.
Can we have Artificial Intelligence without Machine Learning? See "this post for inspiration":"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-artificial-intelligence-without-machine-learning-claudia-pohlink".
