Summary

In this chapter, we introduced supervised learning, got our environment put together, and learned about hill climbing and model evaluation. At this point, you should understand the abstract conceptual underpinnings of what makes a machine learn. It's all about optimizing a number of loss functions. In the next chapter, we'll jump into parametric models and even code some popular algorithms from scratch.
