Evidence Quote

The fundamental challenge that computational systems must solve is called credit assignment. When you have a system with numerous parameters like connection weights between neurons that can be adjusted to achieve a desired output such as recognizing objects in an image or executing appropriate actions. How do you determine which parameters to adjust and by how much?
