  1. 0 Start here Split a pile of priced crates and count how often a guess is right. · 4 min You are here
  2. 1 A rule a person wrote, and a pile of examples A written rule and a pile of examples can score almost the same and still miss different crates. · 8 min
  3. 2 Keep some crates back Split the evening pile in two. Crates the program never saw test it fairly. · 8 min
  4. 3 Right out of how many Walk the guesses and the real words together. Add one for each match. · 8 min
  5. 4 Split it differently Move the split and the score moves too. Report the count with the size of the test set. · 8 min
  6. 5 Learning the examples instead of the pattern A nearest-example program copies the crates it holds. Only new crates give a fair score. · 8 min
  7. 6 Ask more than one Let the nearest one, three or five examples vote. More voices help on some piles and hurt on others. · 8 min
  8. 7 The order you do it in Collect, label, split, learn, measure. Measure on what it learned from and the score flatters. · 8 min
  9. 8 Write the rule yourself Walk the examples once, carry the nearest so far, and hand back its word. · 8 min
  10. 9 The big picture Eight ideas, one pile of crates, and one question: measured on what? · 4 min
  11. 10 Track quiz A cheat-sheet table and a short quiz on the eight ideas. · 8 min
