Tom Mitchell | The History of Machine Learning

Machine learning is the key technology underlying today's amazing artificial intelligence systems.

How did we get to today's technology which now supports a trillion dollar AI industry? What were the key scientific breakthroughs? What were the surprises and dead-ends along the way, as seen by the researchers who created them? Who were the personalities involved, and what were they thinking at the time? What should we learn from all this?

This talk will explore the history of machine learning based on personal experience of the speaker, augmented by video interviews with a dozen other pioneering researchers in the field.
