I use the logwatch program for that. There is no machine learning, it's entirely manual with a large list of things it filters out, but the defaults are quite good.

It emails me any log entires it doesn't know about. I did have to add a large number of ssh lines that it should not bother me about, but other than that it works very well and I find it very useful.

Cool tip. I remember hearing the name but knowing it had these features. I will definitely check it out.
