Two definitions of Machine Learning
Arthur Samuels in 1959 described machine learning as the field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.
Tom Mitchell of Carnegie Mellon, in 1998, described machine learning as a “well-posed learning problem,” in which a computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some task T and some performance measure P, if its performance on T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

What am I optimizing for?
