From driverless cars to automatic recommendation on Netflix, we are surrounded by AI, even if we do not notice it. Furthermore, companies have recently adopted new frameworks in their routines which are mainly composed by algorithms able to solve complex problems in a short period of time. The growth of AI technologies has been absolutely stunning and yes, it is only possible because a sub-field of AI called Machine Learning is growing even faster. In a small scale, Machine Learning may be seen as a simple system able to find patterns on data and learn from it. However, it is precisely that learning process that in a large scale will allow machines to mimic the human behavior and perform tasks that would eventually require human intelligence. Just for us to have an idea, according to Forbes the global Machine Learning market was evaluated in $1.7B in 2017 and it is expected to reach almost $21B in 2024. Naturally, Machine Learning has become an attractive and profitable scientific area that demands continuous learning since there is always something new being discovered. During the last decades, a huge number of algorithms have been proposed by the research community, which sometimes may cause some confusion of how and when to use each one of them. That is exactly what is pretended in this thesis, over the next chapters we are going to review the main Machine Learning models and their respective advantages/disadvantages.Castelli, MauroRUNFigueiredo, Lucas Marnoto2021-01-27T10:02:48Z2020-12-142020-12-14T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/110804TID:202586782enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-05-22T17:50:04Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/110804Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:21:17.179206Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
