Welch Labs has a great 15-part series, where they gradually build up a decision tree model that counts the number of fingers in an image. Part 9 in the series explains the bias-variance spectrum really well: https://youtu.be/yLwZEuybaqE?list=PLiaHhY2iBX9ihLasvE8BKnS2X...

I like the terms "cup" and "cap". They correspond to the LaTeX shortcuts \cup and \cap for set union (∪) and set intersection (∩).

Filipino is really similar in terms of the use of particles/markers! For example, to say: "The cat is eating the fish", we say: "Kumakain ng isda ang pusa". The verb (is eating, kumakain) always comes first. The subject (cat, pusa) is identified by the "ang" marker, while the object (fish, isda) is identified by the "ng" marker. We could also say "Kumakain ang pusa ng isda", although that's rarely used.

The "-um-" affix in "kumakain" makes the verb active ("is eating"). If we instead used the "-in-" affix (as in "kinakain"), it would make the verb passive ("is being eaten by"). So we could alternatively say: "Kinakain ng pusa ang isda" to mean: "The fish is being eaten by the cat".
