Many machine learning problems and methods are combinations of three components: data, hypothesis space and loss function. Different machine learning methods are obtained as combinations of different choices for the representation of data, hypothesis space and loss function. After reviewing the mathematical structure of these three components, we discuss intrinsic trade-offs between statistical and computational properties of ML methods.
