Can machine learning help solve some of the hotel industry's pain points, and create exceptional customer experiences?

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that allows computer systems to learn from data, without being explicitly programmed. It is a method of teaching computers to recognize patterns in data and make decisions based on those patterns.

Machine learning algorithms use a variety of techniques, including neural networks, decision trees, and support vector machines, to find patterns in data and make predictions or take actions based on that data.

The goal of machine learning is to enable computers to learn from data to improve their performance on a specific task.
