The learning objective for logistic regression #18

Hi Prof, I got a question on this concept, why we need to maximize the joint probability of the true labels for all training instances.

We've assumed that the training and testing data are drawn from the same distribution. So, a classifier that does well on the training data should also do well on the testing data. (Though, this won't always be the case, as we'll discuss through the remainder of the course.)
