In my first post about machine learning, I simply wrote about what machine learning is.  This week I am writing about cool uses for machine learning.  In an Informationweek.com article, they list 11 different types of uses for machine learning.  I will list some of them here and discuss the more interesting ones:

• Stopping Malware
• Making Important Discoveries
• Has helped diabetic patients tremendously
• Understanding Legal Documents
• Lots of times legal documents are too complex for your average user.  With that being said, you can use a computer's brain to break down the legal language presented into "plain language".
• Prevent Money Laundering
• Improve CyberSecurity
• Self-Driving Cars
• All self-driving cars use machine learning to some extent
