State of Machine Learning in Julia

Statistics is usually considered a subset of ML, except maybe by statisticians.

While R definitely leads the pack on variety of useful stats packages, there are excellent tools for certain tasks in other languages. I do a lot of probabilistic programming, and PyMC in Python and Turing in Julia are excellent packages. And both languages have official Stan interfaces. Not knowing R has not been a problem for me.

I'm sure it depends on your vantage point, but I would argue that ML is more likely to be considered a subset of Statistics than the other way around.

Let the machine decide:

1 result

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22machine+learning+is+a+sub...

2 results

Machine learning is a subset of statistics.

It just means that you have problems you're not aware of :-)

or that the tooling for the problems I do have is adequate in multiple languages.
