I'm trying to figure out who coined the term machine learning. An ancillary question is from where is Arthur Samuel cited as defining the field of machine learning in 1959 as:the field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without  being explicitly programmed?You can find many, many references to this definition on the internet, but I haven't been able to track down the source. Some give it as his 1959 paper on checkers, but I don't find any such definition there.
