Maybe machine learning can give us recommendations for gardening without hurting your back.

"When changing directions turn with the feet, not at thewaist, to avoid a twisting motion."

“Push” rather than “pull” objects.

Depends on your feature extractor. If you have a feature that measures similarity to previously-seen films, then yes. Otherwise, no. If you only have features measuring what each film's about, and people like novel films, then you'll get conservative predictions, but that's not really the same as learning that novelty is good.
