Sinossi

Theory vs Experiment explores the dynamic interplay between theoretical frameworks and experimental findings in driving scientific progress. Rather than positioning them as opposing forces, the book argues that their mutual challenge, refinement, and validation are essential for advancing knowledge. It’s intriguing to learn that the prediction and subsequent discovery of the Higgs boson exemplifies theory motivating experiment. Conversely, unexpected experimental results, such as the Michelson-Morley experiment, have prompted significant theoretical revisions.

The book begins by establishing key definitions and historical context, then examines specific case studies across physics, chemistry, and biology. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging inherent limitations and biases within both theoretical and experimental designs. This approach offers a balanced perspective on the scientific method and the nature of scientific truth. The book uniquely adopts a nuanced viewpoint, acknowledging the crucial roles of both theory and experiment while remaining accessible to a broad audience interested in science and philosophy.

The book culminates in a discussion of the philosophical implications of this relationship, addressing the nature of scientific truth and the role of human interpretation. By drawing on historical sources, comparative analysis, and meta-analysis, Theory vs Experiment provides a comprehensive and insightful examination of how theoretical breakthroughs and experimental findings shape our understanding of the universe, impacting STEM fields and beyond.

Machine Learning with Python -...

Ways to combat retraining depend on the algorithm and consist of the correct values of the trainer's met parameters. In practice, model estimation is not performed on the same input data that was used to train the model. Divide 10-20% of all available data into a separate set and call it a set for evaluation. We will bring the other 10-20% into the set for ratification, and 60-80% of the remaining ones will be given to the trainer. The principle of data sharing depends on the data and the task. Random sampling is often a good method if inputs are independent of each other, and there is no strong imbalance between the number of positive and negative entries.
The intuitive analogy here is the same as with university studies: the teacher solves some problems with students in pairs and gives other’s similar tasks in the exam. What is important here (both in teaching students and models) is that these tasks are varied, and students cannot simply memorize the answers, and those who have mastered the material (similar tasks) will be able to repeat the thought process and answer correctly.
In machine learning, we split into data two sets: we will use the evaluation set to evaluate each model we train, using different approaches, algorithms, and model types to select the best one. That is, for each model, we will have two precision values - precision on the training dataset and precision on the evaluation dataset. It is normal for the former to be higher than the second, but not significantly. A big difference indicates retraining.
