Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used to automate decision making in various domains. In recent years, ML has not only been applied to tasks that use structured input data, but also, tasks that operate on data with less strictly defined structure such as speech, images and videos. Prominent examples are speech recognition for personal assistants or face recognition for boarding airplanes.
