Self-learning is an exciting part of machine learning. While the human programmer still has their say over variable selection and choosing an appropriate algorithm, the decision-making part is made by the machine. By combing the data for patterns and using this information to inform its predictions, the machine is able to achieve what’s called self-learning.

It’s hard to surf the net these days without a clever recommendation tempting you down a rabbit hole of creditcard-sucking clicks or the YouTube play button. While recommender systems seem relatively new and sophisticated, it has taken a long time for the Internet to catch up to our offline habits of sharing useful information. Humans, for example,
