These are leading indicators. Leading, because you only get benefits downstream if the technology is working and being used. Remember, for many projects we need training data that includes the desired answer or output as well as the input data. That way you train the algorithm both with the input and the output. Well, that's true, but there's an important detail. You don't train with all the data. Some of it you set aside to use for testing. As a general rule of thumb, you'll use 70% of your data to train your algorithm, leaving 30% to test. Sometimes you can get by with a…
