### Other Limitations As Machine learning algorithms become more and more powerful, it is
additionally important from an infrastructure standpoint to have the
processing power capable of handling the algorithms. This becomes even
more important in an attempt to put the algorithm into practice, as the
computer must be able to process results in mere milliseconds.
