INTRODUCTION
Ever since computers were invented, we have wondered whether they might
be made to learn. If we could understand how to program them to learn-to
improve automatically with experience-the impact would be dramatic.
Imagine computers learning from medical records which treatments are most
effective for new diseases, houses learning from experience to optimize
energy costs based on the particular usage patterns of their occupants.

DESIGNING A LEARNING SYSTEM
When the machine algorithm will know all the possible legal moves the next
step is to choose the optimized move using any representation.
In general, this choice of representation involves a crucial tradeoff. On one
hand, we wish to pick a very expressive representation to allow representing
as close an approximation as possible to the ideal target function V.
On the other hand, the more expressive the representation, the more
training data the program will require in order to choose among the
alternative hypotheses it can represent.
To keep the discussion brief, let us choose a simple representation:
for any given board state, the function c will be calculated as a linear combination
