Driving with Data#

Recall:

Rules-based Methods

  • Prior-knowledge is encoded explicitly as rules over patterns.

  • Behavior is acheived implicitly through application of the rules to matched patterns.

Data-Driven Methods:

  • Desired Behavior is provided explicitly as observations to be reproduced or mimiced

  • Rules and domain-knowledge is learned implicitly via a model, through statistical patterns or minimization of error
