In today's globalized and technologically inundated world, machines are gradually and systematically taking over most business functions that used to be carried out by humans. Machine learning-enabled programs have been designed which are able to learn, grow, and change by themselves when exposed to new data. They achieve this by utilizing algorithms which iteratively learn from data. E-commerce platforms today feature a simplistic recommendation engine ("also bought with this item"), with Amazon and Walmart using advanced retail analytics and product recommendations on a regular basis.
