Learning, Classification and Lines

• Learning is both what makes people intelligent, and
• the key to modern AI.
• We know a lot about how people learn, but there is also a lot we don't know.
• There are a lot of jobs in Big Data and Data Analytics, and this makes such extensive use of machine learning, that we can also call them machine learning.
• One simple class of AI systems classifies things; they're called classifiers.
• These classifiers can often be learned.
• A simple version of these are binary classifiers.
• Classifiers often separate the data based on a line.
