On Machine Learning and Data Science

The following sections will be devoted to my notes on machine learning, and data science. I hope that others will find these useful as they go on their own machine-learning journey.

At its core machine learning, described in one sentence, is the optimization of a loss function. All of machine learning boils down to this core principle and as such a in-depth understanding of loss functions should be considered prerequisite knowledge for those looking to get into machine learning in any serious capacity.
