"We can view the perceptron as representing a hyperplane decision surface in the n-dimensional space of instances (i.e., points)."
-- Tom M. Mitchell, Machine Learning, the neural networks chapter

... I just like that sentence. Not a particularly earth-shattering idea, but it's a pretty sentence. Everybody likes AI. Everybody.

I like that sentence cuz I can steal it and say it to people in order to seem smart.

Talking about a "hyperplane decision surface" perhaps the very best way to impress the lady-types...

"So I was building these perceptrons, y'know, like hyperplane decision surfaces..."

It's a pretty idea, expressed concisely and effectively (in the context of the rest of the paragraph), and the phrase "decision surface" is very nice and means exactly what he wants it to mean, even though I don't think it's a standard term.

But he's like "I need a phrase to describe a thing that floats in this space and divides things up, helping you decide which things are what". "decision surface". Perfect :)

Ah. All right. Because otherwise...there are problems with it. But the turn of phrase apparently works, and this is good.

Testimonial from KC of Michigan:

IT'S TRUE!

Everybody does like AI. Just the other day I was trying to get this guy to hang out with me, but he was too busy reading On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkings. So I said that sentence and he was totally into rubbing my head while he read it!

Thank you Alex!
