A high bias low-variance introduction to Machine Learning for physicists

I interpreted “high-bias” as meaning it has an idiosyncratic and specific audience, but “low variance” as meaning with high probability it will be an effective teaching tool for that audience.

Yeah, seems like a sane interpretation.

all these different interpretations suggest that lots of people, myself included, have a fuzzier understanding of the bias-variance tradeoff than we'd care to admit.
