The use of machine learning needs to be explained. I’m half expecting it to boil down to “we evolved the neural nets until it perfectly separated the two groups” — overfitting “learning”.
- ufo 7y agoI also had that impression at first but it seems that they are just using Support Vector Machines to draw the separating boundary between the two group of points.
