Machine learning has intimate ties to optimization: many learning problems are formulated as minimization of some loss function on a training set of examples.

FactSnippet No. 1,426,060
8.

Difference between optimization and machine learning arises from the goal of generalization: while optimization algorithms can minimize the loss on a training set, machine learning is concerned with minimizing the loss on unseen samples.
