Machine learning is the science of teaching a computer to think as humans do while improving over time with the addition of more data and information. Machine learning algorithms have been around for a long time.  In fact, Arthur Samuel coined the phase in 1959.  However, the big leap forward is being able to quickly apply difficult mathematical calculations to big data.
