We present modern machine learning, focusing on the state-of-the-art classification methods of decision forests and deep networks, as partition and vote schemes. This illustrative presentation allows for both a unified basic understanding of how these methods work from the perspective of classical statistical pattern recognition as well as useful basic insight into their relationship with each other ... and potentially with brain functioning.

Matching journals

The top 5 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
