Imagine teaching a puppy to sit by showing it again and again. That is a lot like how we teach computers to learn.
Pretend you want to teach a puppy to sit. You say sit, you gently help it sit, and you give it a treat. You do this many times. After a while, the puppy hears the word and sits on its own.
Computers learn in a surprisingly similar way. We show them tons of examples. We tell them when they are right and when they are wrong. Over time, they get better and better.
After all that practice, the computer has built its own little cat detector. It did not memorize every photo. It learned the shape of cat-ness: pointy ears, whiskers, a certain kind of tail.
Practice makes progress, not perfect, especially for computers.
— A good teacher somewhere
The big idea: computers learn by looking at lots of examples and fixing their mistakes over and over. The better the examples, the better the computer gets.
