— Eric Siegel, Predictive Analytics: The Power of Data (2016)
Awareness of inductive bias helps exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses.
“The inductive bias of a machine learning algorithm can be either explicit or implicit. Explicit inductive biases are those that are explicitly stated by the algorithm designer. Implicit inductive biases are those that are not explicitly stated, but are nevertheless present in the algorithm.”
— Mehryar Mohri, Afshin Rostamizadeh, and Ameet Talwalkar, Foundations of Machine Learning (2012)
Inductive biases can be explicit or implicit.
“Explicit inductive biases can be used to improve the performance of a machine learning algorithm on a particular task. For example, if we know that the data is likely to be linearly separable, we can use an algorithm that is designed to find linear decision boundaries.”
— Vladimir Vapnik, The Nature of Statistical Learning Theory (1995)
