The evolution of digital era and improvements in technology have enabled the growth of a number of devices and web applications leading to the unprecedented generation of huge data on a day-to-day basis from many applications such as industrial automation, social networking cites, healthcare units, smart grids, etc. Artificial intelligence acts as a viable solution for the efficient collection and analyses of the heterogeneous data in large volumes with reduced human effort at low time. Machine learning and deep learning subspaces of artificial intelligence are used for the achievement of smart intelligence in machines to make them intelligent based on learning from experience automatically. Machine learning and deep learning have become two of the most trending, groundbreaking technologies that enable autonomous operations and provide decision making support for data processing systems. The chapter investigates the importance of machine learning and deep learning algorithms in instilling intelligence and providing an overview of machine learning, deep learning platforms.
