A Visual Introduction to Machine Learning : English Bahasa Indonesia Deutsch Español Français Italiano Português Türk ελληνικά русский لعربية 中文 简体 In machine learning, computers apply statistical learning techniques to automatically identify patterns in data. Using a data set about homes, we will create a machine learning model to distinguish homes in New York from homes in San Francisco. In machine learning terms, categorizing data points is a classification task. So visualizing elevation and price per square foot in a scatterplot helps us distinguish lower-elevation homes. Of course, you'll need additional information to distinguish homes with lower elevations and lower per-square-foot prices.
