Just like the periodic table of chemical elements, which initially contained blank squares that were later filled in by scientists, the periodic table of machine learning also has empty spaces.

Just like the periodic table of chemical elements, which initially contained blank squares that were later filled in by scientists, the periodic table of machine learning also has empty spaces.

For instance, the researchers used their framework to combine elements of two different algorithms to create a new image-classification algorithm that performed 8% better than current state-of-the-art ...

Much like how the periodic table in chemistry organized elements and predicted new ones, the researchers’ table doesn’t just clarify existing machine learning methods but it also forecasts new ones.
