Thursday: Learning from examples

Raven shows Nova many cat pictures instead.

"Which way is better?" Rocket asks.

Nova hints, "Look for the pattern."

Two ways to teach a computer

One way is steps.

A person writes every step.

Another way is examples.

People give many, many examples.

The computer finds patterns in them.

This is called machine learning.
