Disambiguation link notification for June 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Life, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Open system (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Machine learning

The reference clearly says: "Supposedly paraphrased from: Arthur Samuel". This clearly states that this is not literally in the source, although people frequently cite exactly this source for this phrase. It even gives an early source that uses this paraphrase, credited to Arthur Samuel... Now Arthur Samuel apparently coined the term "machine learning", and this is the usual definition. It's widely accepted, and that should serve as a guideline for Wikipedia. The sources you added are of much worse quality.

If you want a source that exactly uses the phrase, check the second source in reference 1, page 153: Koza, John R.; Bennett, Forrest H.; Andre, David; Keane, Martin A. (1996). Automated Design of Both the Topology and Sizing of Analog Electrical Circuits Using Genetic Programming. Artificial Intelligence in Design '96. Springer, Dordrecht. pp. 151–170.

It's all well sourced, and this is the most notable definition attempt of machine learning. It's easy to find hundreds of other sources using this definition, and attributing it to Arthur Samuel. It does not matter that it is not in the given source, as long as we write "supposedly paraphrased from". We even have a reference that confirms that this may be a paraphrase (and not, e.g., a variant he said in a presentation).

I understand that you personally may prefer a different (more modern) definition. But the Arthur Samuel paraphrased "without explicitly programmed to do so" is the usual definition. "detecting patterns in data" is much more vague (how does it differ from pattern recognition? What if I write a program to detect even numbers. Obviously it detects patterns in data, but just as obviously I can write such a program without any ML: if x % 2 == 0 then return "Even" else return "Odd" is not ML, but it is detecting a very primitive pattern.)
