He outlines three components to learning algorithms: Representation, Evaluation and Optimization giving a helpful table of algorithmic techniques corresponding to each component. Although some of his statements seem like plain old common sense, such "Theoretical Guarantees Are Not What They Seem," Domingos presents a lot of data to back it up. Like any good researcher, he also provides an extensive list of sources. Like any good teacher, he also includes places where a student can learn more. </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Feb 2013 02:24:52 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/A-Few-Useful-Things-to-Know-about-Machine-Learning/m-p/113219#M9280 JuliaM 2013-02-19T02:24:52Z Re: A Few Useful Things to Know about Machine Learning https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/A-Few-Useful-Things-to-Know-about-Machine-Learning/m-p/113220#M9281 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>This is a great resource, thank you for sharing this.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:08:42 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/A-Few-Useful-Things-to-Know-about-Machine-Learning/m-p/113220#M9281 jaredp 2013-02-19T15:08:42Z Re: A Few Useful Things to Know about Machine Learning https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/A-Few-Useful-Things-to-Know-about-Machine-Learning/m-p/113221#M9282 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The article raises an interesting (for me) question concerning the evaluation phase.&nbsp; If one uses Content Categorization Studio to identify things to look for in trying to classify something, is there a way to use that tool to exclude things that would provide a misleading direction?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:55:05 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/A-Few-Useful-Things-to-Know-about-Machine-Learning/m-p/113221#M9282 art297 2013-02-19T16:55:05Z Re: A Few Useful Things to Know about Machine Learning https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/A-Few-Useful-Things-to-Know-about-Machine-Learning/m-p/113222#M9283 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The 'UNLESS' and 'NOT' rule operators (in Content Categorization and in Sentiment Analysis) are available to limt matches.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:27:47 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/A-Few-Useful-Things-to-Know-about-Machine-Learning/m-p/113222#M9283 FionaMcNeill 2013-02-20T21:27:47Z
