What on earth does that mean? Maybe they should teach mathematics in english at universities outside of english speaking countries. German mathematics does not help here.
I wish there was a 4GL like SQL for machine learning using dynamic programming for algorithm selection and model synthesis like a dbms query planner.

- sampo 10y ago> "The slope and y-intercept of the line are determined using gradient descent." Slope and intercept are very standard names for the parameters of a linear regression model. Gradient descent is the name of the algorithm used.
- spitfire 10y agoThis has been done before, though by who eludes me. I've seen it here on HN a few years ago. and it is absolutely a good idea, as long as you include validation and QA abilities right along side train/predict.
