Keep some back.
Did the machine learn, or did it memorise? You can only tell one way. Try it, then read the lesson it comes from.
Step 1 of 5
Before the maths exam, Rahat found last year's paper and learned every answer by heart. At home he scored 100%. In the real exam the questions were new. He scored 41%.
Machines can make the same mistake. Two machines study uncle's 8 sorted apples from the Sopore mandi:
The Memoriser
Remembers every apple it was shown, exactly — like learning last year’s paper by heart.
The Learner
Works out what the examples have in common, and copies the one that looks most like the new apple.
