Self-learning is an exciting part of machine learning. While the human programmer is responsible for variable selection and setting algorithm hyperparameters (settings), the machine is in charge of deciphering patterns and decision-making. By combing the data for patterns and using this information to inform its predictions, the machine is able to accomplish what’s called self-learning.

It’s hard to surf the net these days without a clever recommendation tempting you down a rabbit hole of creditcard-sucking clicks or the YouTube play button. While recommender systems seem relatively new and sophisticated, it has taken a long time for the Internet to catch up to our offline habits of sharing useful information. Humans, for example,
