Machine Learning and Human Learning
My loosely formulated idea: the term Machine Learning as used by practitioners carries meaning that is quite different from what one might assume based on the conjunction of the meaning of each of the two words in the phrase. I found it a bit confusing when I began coursework in the topic. The term inherently raises the question of how it is distinct from learning done by living creatures, particularly humans. I need to investigate further by looking at what wikipedia currently has for (Human) Learning and Machine Learning, and where, if applicable, this would fit.
