    1. One way to detectoverfitting inpractice is toobserve that themodel has lowtraining risk buthigh test risk duringcross validation

      overfitting = high acc during training and low acc during testing

    2. validation se

      I have always been confused by the validation set. It is a set used to provide a glimpse of how your model will react to the data. Usually you take a portion of the training set to create the validation set

    3. Another phrasecommonly used forexpected risk is“population risk”

      From what I know, population risk is the number of individuals at risk. Is it samething as expected risk ?

    4. independent and identicallyindependent andidenticallydistributed distributed

      what is a set of example here? I am thinking of it as features rather than anything else. But features are dependent upon one another so I am not sure what this means

    5. Training or parameter estimation

      adjust predictive model based on training data.

      In order to find good predictors do one of two things: 1) find the best predict based on some measure of quality (known as finding a point estimate) and 2) using bayesian inference

    6. we do not expect the iden-tifier (the Name) to be informative for a machine learning task

      This is a good reminder that only query the columns or data that are relevant to the exercise

    1. Exampleof a convex set

      an easy example to identify convex sets. One way to determine a convex sex is to keep in mind that if at given given point within the set if a line segment is within the set it is convex

    2. The step-size is alsocalled the learningrate.

      when implementing a neural net, the learning rate is a hyper parameter that controls how much to adjust the weights by w.r.t to the gradient

    3. Theorem 4.3. A square matrix A ∈ Rn×n has det(A) 6 = 0 if and only ifrk(A) = n. In other words, A is invertible if and only if it is full rank

      refer to section 2.6.2 for rank definition

    1. orthogonal complement

      Let W be a subspace of a vector space V. Then the orthogonal complement of W is also a subspace of V. Furthermore, the intersection of W and its orthogonal complement is just the zero vector.

    2. d(x, y) := ‖x − y‖ =√〈x − y, x − y

      so a Euclidean distance is a distance from point x to point y, so the shortest path (a straight line). I don't understand the difference between distance and Euclidean distance. Isn't distance also a dot product? how would you do the calculation?

    3. (3.9)

      The inner product must be positive definite, symmetric and bilinear. test for inner product: let v = (1,2) -> <v,v> = (1)(1) - (1)(2) - (2)(1) + 2(2)(2) = 1 - 2 -2 + 8 = -3 + 8 = 5 (symmetric, bilinear and positive)

      test for dot product: as per (3.5) the right side does not equal the left side
