Types of Learning
Learning is interaction between learner and environment
Supervised * Spam email detection * Labelled data
Unsupervised * No distinction between training and test data * Clustering data into subsets of similar objects
Reinforcement learning * Based on reward/punishment on the output result
Active learner * Interacts with the environment at training time * Pose queries or perform experiments
Passive learner * Observes information provided by the environment * Does not influence or direct it
Online vs Batch learning protocol * The key distinction between online and batch learning is whether the learner must respond immediately during the learning process (online) or can first process large amounts of data before outputting conclusions (batch).
When Do We Need Machine Learning?
Tasks that are too complex to program * Driving * Speech recognition * Image understanding
Tasks beyond human capabilities * Astronomical data * Turning medical archives into medical knowledge * Weather prediction * Analysis of Genomic data
Adaptivity: Changes over time with change in environment/input
We conclude that one distinguishing feature between the bait shyness learningand the pigeon superstition is the incorporation of prior knowledge that biasesthe learning mechanism
Prior knowledge biases the learning mechanism
This is referred to as inductive bias
while temporal correlationbetween food and nausea can be causal, it is unlikely that there would be acausal relationship between food consumption and electrical shocks or betweensounds and nausea
Prior knowledge of causation relationship is important in learning. Correlation alone is not sufficient.
This is to avoid superstitious learning in machine

Lord, increase my sufferings, and with them increase Your love in my heart… Apart from the cross there is no other ladder by which we may get to Heaven. ~Saint Rose of Lima
Quote
The life of Saint Rose of Lima reveals many things to us
Lessons * It takes great holiness to discover the sweetness of penances. * The "good life" is discovered only in the act of divine union * Greatest impact in the world is made when we completely give ourselves over to service of God so that He works through us.
at the age of thirty-one, Jesus took her to Himself where she could live forever as one with Him.
Rose became a saint because she entered into divine union, the seventh mansion, or what has been called ‘spiritual marriage’ with her Savior.
Her hut, or hermitage, became a place in which Rose engaged in charitable works.
She was concerned that her beauty was a distraction, and even a temptation, to others. Her remedy was to cut off her beautiful hair to make herself less attractive. She also rubbed pepper on her face and lime juice on her hands to make her skin less appealing to young men.
At the age of eleven, she received the Sacrament of Confirmation and formally took the name Rose.
Today’s saint, Saint Rose of Lima, was born in the capital city of the newly established Viceroyalty of Peru, governed by the Kingdom of Spain, fifty-five years after the first Spanish conquerors arrived and began colonizing the territory.
In 1532, Spanish explorers arrived in modern-day Peru.
Jesus did this first by becoming Incarnate in the womb of His dear mother
Jesus' Incarnation is the perfect exemplification of the virtue of humility. It was an act of complete selfless service to humanity
Humility is the greatest form of service we can render another.
What is humility? * I acknowledge my limitations, weakness and fault without seeking to exalt myself over others. * I act with modesty, simplicity and goodness. Always keeping in mind the good of others before myself.
Greatness is found in servanthood
If you were to plan out the ideal future for yourself, what would it look like?
However, we give varying reasons to not accept His invitations
God constantly invites us to deeper union with Him through participation in the Church
The first level of rejection is indifference
Mode of rejection Business Smartphones Computers and tablets Workaholics
The opposite of being indifferent is to care and to care deeply about going to the wedding feast when invited.
Ideal christian attitude to the invitation
growing hostility toward the Church and morality.

wedding is the marriage between Christ and the Church.
