The Problem • Q: What do we mean by "most similar to the search query” ?
• Q: What kind of data can a user provide to our program ?
• Q: (once we’ve clari f ied this)
what are the instructions to actually solve the problem? • The problem is:
“(somehow) determine what Pokémons are most similar to a speci f ied set of characteristics denoting a Pokémon provided by the user.” • There's a lot of ambiguity in what we just said
Task 2 2.b Similarity Function 30 43 55 68 78 39 45 58 60 80 Bulbasaur Ivysaur Venusaur Chameleon Chameleon Charizard • What function to get a similarity degree?
• Hypothesis: let's start from just 1 feature (e.g., hit points)
Task 2 2.b Similarity Function Adding more axes on our chart makes our formula slightly more complex 3 Dimensions (HP, Attack, Defence): 4 Dimensions (HP, Attack, Defence, Special Attack): n Dimensions:
