These machine learning startups have secured great funding to innovate better.
Machine learning or ML is a kind of Artificial Intelligence that allows software applications to become more accurate at predicting outcomes without being explicitly programmed. ML algorithms use historical data as input to predict new output values. Machine learning is vital as it gives enterprises a view of trends in customer behavior and business operational patterns supporting the development of new products and services. Today, machine learning is used in a broad manner to innovate products. Let's see what machine learning startups have raised their funding in the last quarter of 2021.
