    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→A generalized bias-variance decomposition applicable to a variety of loss functions, including 0-1 loss, is available.

    Goodman's grue-like concerns about projectibility apply here: concepts redefined per loss function lack the entrenchment needed to support inductive inference across modeling contexts.

    Key Terms

    Loss function(as used in machine learning)
    A mathematical tool that measures how wrong a model's predictions are—the bigger the loss, the worse the predictions.
    Modeling contexts(Refers to whether concepts can reliably transfer between different prediction tasks)
    Different situations or frameworks where you're trying to make predictions or understand a pattern—like different machine learning models or different real-world problems.
    Nelson Goodman(the philosopher whose theory is being discussed)
    A 20th-century American philosopher who developed theories about how symbols (like words, pictures, and artworks) work and mean things.
    entrenchment(Goodman's account of why pictures are classified as they are)
    The historical process by which certain predicates (pictorial or verbal) come to be projected and applied rather than other available predicates, explaining how pictorial classifications become established.

    grue(Goodman's new riddle of induction; used to illustrate non-projectible or gerrymandered predicates)
    A predicate true of an object if it is green and examined before 2020, or otherwise blue.
    inductive inference(Contrasted with the author's characterization of immediate moral judgment)
    A form of reasoning that includes inference to the best explanation and reasoning from empirical evidence
    projectibility(as used in philosophy of language and logic)
    The ability of a property or characteristic to be reliably used to make predictions about future cases or to form general rules.
