Abstract

Machine learning (ML) is changing virtually every aspect of our lives. Today ML algorithms accomplish tasks that until recently only expert humans could perform

Keywords: Machine learning, Data science, Automation, Technology

Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 2.5/10
• Empirical Rigor: 3.0/10
• Quadrant: Philosophers
• Why: The excerpt introduces concepts like high-dimensional spaces and non-linear relationships but is devoid of advanced formulas, focusing instead on conceptual discussions and examples. It lacks data, backtests, code, or specific implementation metrics, making it more of a high-level overview than an empirical or technical paper.
