insinuating that the only reason people say machine learning and not statistics is just false. the term machine learning refers to a specific part of statistics that is very different from statistics as a whole.
- rublev 9y agoHe is making that exact point.

- make3 9y agowhy are apple not just called fruits? because there is utility in calling apples apples and not just fruits, because we want to know specifically which subpart of the group fruits you are eating or there is in the pie, not because apples are so damn popular
- laichzeit0 9y agoA lot of it is actually called Statistical Learning. Google that term. Some techniques are not classified as such, at least not yet, e.g. deep convolutional neural networks.
