Summary of dr. camilla pang's an outsider's guide to humans

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We are all carrying a supercomputer around in our heads. The human mind is an extraordinary processing machine that can make complex decisions and judgments. However, we often make simple decisions based on patterns that we perceive rather than reality. #2 Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence. It is the process of feeding large amounts of data into an algorithm, which can learn or detect patterns and then apply these to any new information it encounters. #3 Supervised machine learning is when you have a specific outcome in mind, and you program the algorithm to achieve it. It is similar to some of your math textbooks, in which you could look up the answer at the back of the book. #4 Unsupervised learning doesn't have any notion of what the outcome should be. It is programmed to approach the data and identify its inherent patterns. It is useful when you want to explore broad areas without knowing where to look or how to get there.
