DATA COLLECTION HARVESTING



            IS IT A GLASS OF WINE OR A GLASS OF
            BEER?


            The data will be obtained by observing the visual
            appearance of beer and wine (in this case, mugs/
            glasses). Data could be collected on a variety of drink
            elements,including everythingfrom the amount of foam
            to the shape of the glass itself.

            For the purposes of this explanation,we will concentrate
            on just two of these factors: color (expressed as a
            wavelengthoflight)andalcohol content(asapercentage).
            It is expected that we will be able to divide our two drink
            categories solely on these two characteristics. Colorand
            alcohol will be referred to as “features” from now on.


            DATA COLLECTION


            Data collection, the first serious phase of machine
            learning, is now underway. This stage is critical
            because the accuracy of the predictive model is directly
            proportional to the quality and quantity of data obtained.
            In other words, the accuracy of the predictive model
            will be directly determined by the data collected. In this
            scenario,the data we collect will include the color of each
            drink as well as the percentageof alcohol it contains.
