New technique wipes out unwanted data

Machine learning systems are everywhere. They predict the weather, forecast earthquakes, provide recommendations based on the books and movies we like, and even apply the brakes on our cars when we’re not paying attention. To do this, software programs in these systems calculate predictive relationships from massive amounts of data. Two researchers have developed a way to do it faster and more effectively than can be done using current methods.
