ABSTRACT
Machine learning changes the way you think about a problem. Software engineers are trained to think logically and mathematically; we use assertions to prove properties of our program are correct. With machine learning, the focus shifts from a mathematical science to a natural science: we’re making observations about an uncertain world, running experiments, and using statistics, not logic, to analyze the results of the experiment. The ability to think like a scientist will expand your horizons and open up new areas that you couldn’t explore without it.
