A lot of current ML/AI algorithms come from the computer science departments in universities. They use different words for the same ideas that exist in the statistics community. There is more of a focus on prediction versus inference. The interpretability of these algorithms come second. Here’s a little translation mapping: https://3qeqpr26caki16dnhd19sv6by6v-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Glossary-Mapping-Terms-in-Statistics-to-Terms-in-Machine-Learning-972x1024.png https://3qeqpr26caki16dnhd19sv6by6v-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/... Nothing really to get one’s panties in a knot about though.
