Word History and Origins

Origin of machine learning¹

First recorded in 1955–60

Example Sentences

Researchers in the Nanoscience Center at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have used machine learning and supercomputer simulations to investigate how tiny gold nanoparticles bind to blood proteins.

From Science Daily

The studies discovered that favorable nanoparticle-protein interactions can be predicted from machine learning models that are trained from atom-scale molecular dynamics simulations.

From Science Daily

The machine learning results were successfully validated by long-timescale atomistic simulations.

From Science Daily

With the new machine learning methodology, we can now extend our work to investigate how drug-carrying nanoparticles interact with blood proteins and how those interactions change the efficacy of the drug carriers, Häkkinen concludes.

From Science Daily

"Machine learning is a very helpful tool when examining the use of nanoparticles in diagnostics and therapy applications in the field of nanomedicine. This will be one the main goals in our next project "Dynamic Nanocluster -- Biomolecule Interfaces" supported by the European Research Council," Häkkinen said.
