machine learning and knowledge extraction an Open Access Journal by MDPI Academic Open Access Publishing since 1996 machine learning and knowledge extraction an Open Access Journal by MDPI Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Andreas Holzinger Machine learning deals with understanding intelligence to design algorithms that can learn from data, gain knowledge from experience and improve their learning behaviour over time. The challenge is to extract relevant structural and/or temporal patterns (“knowledge”) from data, which is often hidden in high dimensional spaces, thus not accessible to humans. Many application domains, e.g., smart health, smart factory, etc. affect our daily life, e.g., recommender systems, speech recognition, autonomous driving, etc. The grand challenge is to understand the context in the real-world under uncertainty. Probabilistic inference can be of great help here as the inverse probability allows to learn from data, to infer unknowns, and to make predictions to support decision making.
