Machine learning is an advanced form of data mining that leverages large data sets to decipher patterns. These are then used to predict future outcomes, such as banking fraud or equipment downtimes and failures. According to the research firm, Europe will dominate the sector in terms of market value, while North America will be the fastest growing. These conclusions are in stark contrast with estimates for other segments that have often pegged Asia Pacific as the fastest growing region for a variety of industries such as consumer technology.
