Assumptions like these require disabled people to go on the defensive, and that can lead to an argument, rather than a discussion. I’m the first to admit that I haven’t always been great at ...
Then the learner is tested with new examples. Without further assumptions, this problem cannot be solved exactly as unknown situations may not be predictable. [161] [162] The inductive bias of the learning algorithm is the set of assumptions that the learner uses to predict outputs given inputs that it has not encountered. [161]
The false-consensus effect can be traced back to two parallel theories of social perception, "the study of how we form impressions of and make inferences about other people". [9] The first is the idea of social comparison.
