A Machine Learning-based Application is a data-driven application that involves the significant use of machine learning pipelines (which applies ML algorithms to solve ML tasks).
- Context:
- It can (often) be associated to an ML Use Case.
- It can range from being a Classification Application to being a Ranking Application to being an Estimation Application.
- …
- Example(s):
- a Netflix's Movie Recommendation Service (which continually improves by feedback from recommendation feedback).
- a Google's Language Translation Service (which continually improves by new ML techniques)
- an NLP-based Application, such as an NLG application.
- a Voice Agent Application (which likely uses ML techniques).
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: ML Tool, Automated Decisioning.

- Amazon is looking for a model to "predict an employee's access needs, given his/her job role." If new employees are starting with inadequate permissions, then it is a costly time suck for them to submit access request paperwork, get supervisor approval, and get granted access by IT. If Amazon is able to create a smarter permissions system with a machine learning model, they can save quite a bit of time and money.

- QUOTE: In many applications of machine learning the goal is to take a vector [math]\displaystyle{ \bf{x} }[/math] of input features and to assign it to one of a number of alternative classes labelled by a vector [math]\displaystyle{ \bf{c} }[/math] (for instance, if we have C classes, then [math]\displaystyle{ \bf{c} }[/math] might be a C-dimensional binary vector in which all elements are zero except the one corresponding to the class).
