Learn the idea

A feature is information supplied to a model. A training label identifies the outcome used in supervised learning examples. A prediction is the model’s output for a case. Using the target answer as an input can leak information and make a reported test misleading. Our dataset is fictional and fully supplied.

Distinguish input information, known teaching outcome and model output before evaluating a case. The future answer should not be included as a feature when it is unavailable at prediction time.

Use this supplied case: Input includes recorded object size. Classify the field in the stated supervised model. The task is to connect the given information to the computing idea. Write a short evidence trail so another learner can reproduce your choice. The simplified case describes the stated model, not every real system.

  1. Represent the supplied worked case with a labeled drawing, table or short trace.
  2. Distinguish input information, known teaching outcome and model output before evaluating a case.
  3. Explain why the worked answer fits and why one alternative does not.
  4. Try the new check and practice cases; revisit the stated rule if your evidence does not match.
Worked example

See the method in action

Input includes recorded object size. Classify the field in the stated supervised model. The supported answer is Feature. Distinguish input information, known teaching outcome and model output before evaluating a case. The future answer should not be included as a feature when it is unavailable at prediction time. The supplied facts, rather than an assumed real-world detail, determine this paper case. Compare the recorded action or value with the stated rule before choosing an answer.

Helpful tips
  • Distinguish input information, known teaching outcome and model output before evaluating a case.
  • The future answer should not be included as a feature when it is unavailable at prediction time.
Training row includes known object category. Classify the field in the stated supervised model.

Training label

The supplied case states: Training row includes known object category. Classify the field in the stated supervised model. Under the stated distinction, this identifies Training label. A feature is information supplied to a model. A training label identifies the outcome used in supervised learning examples. A prediction is the model’s output for a case. Using the target answer as an input can leak information and make a reported test misleading. Our dataset is fictional and fully supplied. Distinguish input information, known teaching outcome and model output before evaluating a case.

Take it further

A supervised toy model uses recorded size to predict shape. Expected: size is a feature, the known training shape is a label, and the model’s guessed shape is a prediction.
