Nowadays there's no clear difference between statistics and machine learning. But the latter gets you more grant money. :-/

- artifaxx 10y agoMachine learning is setting it up to find the correlations for you these days :p It is annoying when people choose things due to a more exciting name/buzzword rather than actual merit...
- visarga 10y ago> no clear difference between statistics and machine learning Yes, there is. When your model has thousands/millions of parameters, or when your model has many more parameters than the number of examples in your training set, it's called Machine Learning.
- NumberCruncher 10y agoTechnically you call overfitting AI...
- Houshalter 10y agoThat's not true. Linear and logistic regression are like the first things you learn in a machine learning class. Many popular ML models do not have millions of parameters, including decision trees and shallow neural networks.
