00:00:04,491 --> 00:00:07,590
Classifiers have really changed the world.

3
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:09,080
Today we take classifiers for

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,330
granted but they're at the core of every
piece of technology that we enjoy.

5
00:00:13,330 --> 00:00:17,960
Be it the spam filters we talked about,
dealing with our email, what happens

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,240
when you type on the web search and
get a particular set of answers back,

7
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:27,250
what odds get shown to you,
what products get recommended and

8
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:32,150
how we classify somebody's
medical conditions and more.

9
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:36,190
And we see that all over the world,
happening everyday.

10
00:00:36,190 --> 00:00:39,160
And interesting thing about classifiers,
is that the fundamental techniques that

11
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:42,990
you need to build a classifier, are very
similar to those that you need to build

12
00:00:42,990 --> 00:00:46,100
all other sorts of machine
leaning that models.

13
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:51,090
And so, if you really understand
classifiers in depth, you'll be able to do

14
00:00:51,090 --> 00:00:55,600
basically all kinds of machine learning,
what's called supervised learning.

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,117
And that's in the core of most real world
applications of machine learning today.
