So you’ve heard the buzz about machine learning (ML) but don’t know which tasks and business requirements it can tackle? Or how to integrate it into your project?

I got you. Modern web applications have become more advanced by using machine learning algorithms as opposed to solely relying on human logic in order to process information. The key advantage of machine learning is the fact that the software can learn from data on its own.

This article will shed some light on this topic, show seven use cases of machine learning with examples from prominent web applications, and give some insights on how to use it as a web developer.
