Abstract

Machine learning allows decision makers to gain more insight from their data. Today, the application of machine learning is no longer limited to research and specific industries. In most fields, there is a valuable opportunity to use machine learning to obtain more concise and in-depth information from available data. As a result, most big software companies provide opportunities to their users to access machine learning via easy-to-use software. For example, Microsoft, a pioneer in developing business software, leverages machine learning in developing products such as the Bing search engine, Xbox, Kinect, and others. The use of machine learning in Microsoft is not limited to the production of new software. In many of Microsoft’s software development tools, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Power BI, and .NET, there is an opportunity to use machine learning to create smarter applications and reposts.
