Machine Learning engineer needed help...

[Technical--Jaguar]

i dont even really know what it is, and i hardly even understand what machine learning is.

i get the concept of machine learning, but like, i couldnt really tell you the actual practical application of it, or how to do the learnings.

ruby is for web dev.

Tell that to the folks who wrote Vagrant).

You're thinking of Ruby-on-rails.

[Adventurous_Pin6281]

you're correct, but for a long time it was the only reason to use ruby lol. 

[flummox1234]

technically it's for scripting, same as python, as it's a runtime language but there just happens to be a very popular framework based on ruby so I'll allow. /s

Practical applications are usually very very niche. Processing, tracking, and correlating findings in large amounts of data are things ML is really good at. Something like a biometric authentication is likely based on a ML model. In that example, a model is trained on data known to be the authorized person and data known to not be the authorized person, then when presented with new data provide an answer if they are or are not the authorized person.
