In short:
Machine Learning - making predictions
Statistics - distilling huge amount of data into a few indicators
Machine Learning uses algorithms, optimization/operations research, differential calculus, probability and statistics as it sees fit.
- mr_toad 7y agoStatistics makes predictions too. Indicators are usually predictions - a mean is called an expected value for a reason. I find the spectacle of machine-learning practitioners and statisticians furiously using different language to agree with each other quite amusing.
