Machine learning harnesses computing power to solve a variety of ‘hard’ problems that seemed impossible to program using traditional languages and techniques. Machine learning avoids the need for a programmer to explicitly program the steps in solving

It’s important for the model to make accurate predictions when using a deep learning model for production. How efficiently these predictions happen also matters. Examples of efficiency measurements include electrical engineers measuring energy consumption to pick the best
