5 Fundamentals of machine learning

This chapter covers

Understanding the tension between generalization and optimization, the fundamental issue in machine learning
Evaluation methods for machine learning models
Best practices to improve model fitting
Best practices to achieve better generalization

After the three practical examples in chapter 4, you should be starting to feel familiar with how to approach classification and regression problems using neural networks, and you’ve witnessed the central problem of machine learning: overfitting. This chapter will formalize some of your new intuition about machine learning into a solid conceptual framework, highlighting the importance of accurate model evaluation and the balance between training and ...
