Study Notes
- Machine learning algorithms work on the assumption that past performance is a good indicator of future performance.
- This assumption can be based on obvious things, like the sun always rising, or more nuanced things, like the likelihood of a certain species existing.
- Machine learning algorithms can be taught to do tasks without needing to be explicitly programmed, using data from past experiences.
- One approach to using machine learning is to use it to improve the algorithms that are used to solve a task.
