Machine Learning: Unveiling the Predictive Power of the Human Brain
In his bestselling book Atomic Habits, James Clear offers a compelling insight into the human brain’s predictive nature, a concept that aligns closely with machine learning principles. James Clear describes scenarios where the brain anticipates outcomes based on past experiences and patterns, like machine learning algorithms that learn from data to make predictions. By examining real-life examples, we can see how these brain functions follow supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning processes.
Consider a saloonist who can detect early signs of pregnancy simply by touching a client's hair. Years of experience have taught this saloonist to recognize subtle changes in hair texture and scalp condition as indicators of pregnancy. This predictive intuition resembles supervised learning, where the saloonist is "trained" on numerous examples (clients' hair conditions) and associated outcomes (pregnancy).
