What is Machine Learning?
Unsupervised learning is the machine learning task of inferring a function to describe hidden structure from unlabeled data.
Supervised learning is the machine learning task of inferring a function from labeled training data.
Reinforcement learning is an area of machine learning inspired by behaviorist psychology, concerned with how software agents ought to take actions in an environment so as to maximize some notion of cumulative reward.

What is Predictive Analytics then?
Supervised learning is a technique for performing predictive analytics.
Supervised Learning vs. Predictive Analytics
Supervised learning is the machine learning task of inferring a function from labeled training data.
Predictive analytics encompasses a variety of statistical techniques that analyze current and historical facts to make predictions about future or otherwise unknown events.

The Machine Learning Process
What is Azure Machine Learning?• Azure Machine Learning provides tools for creating complete
predictive analytics solutions in the cloud: Quickly create, test, operationalize, and manage predictive models.
• Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a collaborative, interactive tool you can use to build, test, and deploy predictive analytics solutions on your data.
• You drag-and-drop datasets and analysis modules onto an interactive canvas, connecting them together to form an experiment, which you run in Machine Learning Studio.
Why Azure Machine Learning?
Minimal set-up costs with ability to easily scale compute/storage capacity; fewer barriers to entry
Easy to integrate data from various data sources
Users can collaborate in common toolset to build and train models using advanced algorithms
Easy to deploy trained models as consumable web services
Cloud-based
