KOTVOD needs YOU, engineer!
Yes, you! As you probably have heard already, the purpose of our glorious Learning Factory is to explain some basics of machine learning in a stylish graphic way, so even stupid humans would understand it (cats already know all there's to know about it).
If you don't know this yet, don't hesitate to check out our team's lead coder interview form a couple of weeks ago
One of ML techinques that will empower your Factory will be Linear Regression. So we've made a linear regression machine so you could learn about machine learning while machines learn to learn... Ok, that came off pretty complicated, so, with no further ado, please welcome our MACHINE LEARNING MACHINE for linear regression:
Option 1
Option 2
If you have no idea of how it works and what it does, don't you worry. For now all we need from you is to let us know, which one you like more.

And if you want to get some background first, here's an excerpt from a very comprehensive article about machine learning:
"Regression is basically classification where we forecast a number instead of category. Examples are car price by its mileage, traffic by time of the day, demand volume by growth of the company etc. Regression is perfect when something depends on time.
Everyone who works with finance and analysis loves regression. It's even built-in to Excel. And it's super smooth inside — the machine simply tries to draw a line that indicates average correlation. Though, unlike a person with a pen and a whiteboard, machine does so with mathematical accuracy, calculating the average interval to every dot."
If you have time, go give this article a read, it really is awesome. Or look it up on Wikipedia, if you're brave enough! And then come back to our Discord server and vote for the ML Machine design you find more self-explanatory!
