5 Things to Know About Machine Learning

There is always something new to learn on any fast-evolving topic, and machine learning is no exception. This post will point out 5 things to know about machine learning, 5 things which you may not know, may not have been aware of, or may have once known and now forgotten. Note that the title of this post is not "The 5 Most Important Things..." or "Top 5 Things..." to know about machine learning; it's just "5 Things." It's not authoritative or exhaustive, but rather a collection of 5 things that may be of use. It's fairly well-discussed that data preparation takes a disproportionate amount of time in a machine learning task.
