The Novel Uses of Machine Learning

I was looking into what are some of the novel uses of machine learning in order to like sort of have some things to ask you about and just see what's out there. And then I'll give you something that I found on my list. Maybe I'm biased because I'm really into a using machine learning for scientific data and academic problems. But I guess for things that are really academic breakthrough that are reaching everybody's is really related to computer vision and NLP these days, and probably also speech.
