As someone going into the field, can you explain what this means? Specifically, I'd assume we're trying to isolate some outliers that are causing a funky bias in the learner. In what way would you automate their discovery (what does it mean to "discover" the outliers in this scenario?)?

Just looking for clarification because I feel like I should know this. Trying to couch the problem in terms I'm more familiar with.

The machine learning generates the algorithm so we don't know what it is. Now how do we test it.

I think that's what he means. I'm not in machine learning either.
