The concept of machine learning is becoming better understood as we increasingly interact with it every day. From Netflix and Amazon recommendations, to Siri and Cortana voice recognition to Google Maps travel time calculations, we're all becoming more familiar with machine leaning technologies--even if we don't quite realize it yet. Applying machine learning in industry, however, is a different story. Though several companies are doing it, it's not nearly as ubiquitous as the consumer-oriented applications mentioned above. And that's what made a presentation by Kathy Applebaum and Kevin McClusky of Inductive Automation during the Ignition Community Conference 2018 so interesting.
