Inductive Assumptions in ML Always Required, Often Ignored

摘要

It is argued that machine learning methods are inductive methods and therefore rely on inductive assumptions. These assumptions are made explicit in two different justificatory strategies. Because inductive assumptions are not determined by the data machine Learning methods are trained on, they require human choices at the very outset. And these choices cannot be automated.
