editWhile useful to those in ML, the article goes straight from rather high-level and extensive prose into mid-level maths. The topic would become much more accessible to readers with a shorter introduction and some intervening descriptive sections (maybe including e.g. a diagram) with the text currently in the intro.

Possible Confusion from the term "online"
editThese so-called "online" techniques do not require being online (as in connected to the internet); they simply require being exposed to a stream of ongoing training data. They learn incrementally. Therefore, in some sense, the term "online" is misleading. Could anyone weigh in as to the history of the name? Have their been citable discussions explaining the name and possible confusion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:A:3D80:496:E5E7:DC9B:5E26:4609 (talk) 01:44, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
How related is this to predictive analytics? And how related to it is structured prediction?
