Machine Learning Tip: Set Boundaries for the Problems

To succeed in machine learning, we must do a decent amount of prep work. Just adding data, data, data can lead to false signals and invalid correlations. We can end up missing the signal in all the noise. In "Why Machine Learning Works," computer scientist George Montañez walks the reader through the prerequisites for successful machine learning. He notes that, at its core, machine learning is a form of search algorithm.
