Identifying Poisonous Mushrooms with Rule Learners

Modeling Machine Learning Rule Learnersposted by Brett Lantz April 11, 2019

Each year, many people fall ill and sometimes even die from ingesting poisonous wild mushrooms. Since many mushrooms are very similar to each other in appearance, occasionally even experienced mushroom gatherers are poisoned. If simple, clear, and consistent rules were available for identifying poisonous mushrooms, they... Read more
