A pile of priced crates can teach a program to guess prices. Each crate has a word on it. The word is full price or cut price.

Split the pile. Test only on the part kept back.

What you will do

  • A rule or a pile. Compare a rule with a pile.
  • Keep some back. Split the pile before the program learns.
  • Right out of how many. Count how often a guess is right.
  • Split it differently. A new split gives a new score.
  • Learning the examples. A perfect score that means nothing.
  • Ask more than one. Let several examples vote.
  • The order you do it in. Split, then learn, then measure.
  • Write the rule yourself. Type the rule that copies the nearest example.

Nothing here learns while you watch. The learning is already done. You measure it.
