Advanced Machine Learning:

Advanced Machine Learning includes everything from classical machine learning to deep neural networks and such techniques will be at the core of smart machines. The deep neural networks are looking for patterns and coming up with classifications and semantic models, using image classification as an example. Machine learning can be delivered either in packaged applications or in services such as IBM Watson.

Autonomous Agents & Things:

Machine learning gives rise to a spectrum of smart machine implementations including robots, autonomous vehicles, virtual personal assistants (VPAs) and smart advisors that act in an autonomous or at least semiautonomous manner. While advances in physical smart machines such as robots get a great deal of attention, the software-based smart machines have a more near-term and broader impact. VPAs such as Google Now, Microsoft's Cortana and Apple's Siri are becoming smarter and are precursors to autonomous agents.
