In the year 2051, a fortunate group of young scientists is granted the exclusive opportunity to explore the mysteries of WestWorld. Their behind-the-scenes journey takes an extraordinary turn as they are invited to a unique conference orchestrated by the enigmatic park director, Dr. Ford. At the core of this encounter lies a captivating dive into the realm of Deep Learning, offering participants an unprecedented experience and unveiling the secrets of the symbiosis between cutting-edge technology and the bold imagination of WestWorld.

Wall-E, faithful to his mission and amidst some gold estimations, doesn't forget his main task: sorting garbage. During his expeditions to remote places on the planet, he discovers the ultimate challenge that stimulates his curious mind. Among the objects he collects, Wall-E finds a varied collection of old electronic components, some in good condition that he takes back to the base, and others faulty that he stores in a corner. Passionate about such objects, he starts unscrewing, tearing apart, and carefully categorizing each component into two distinct categories (binary classification): on one side, the valuable metal pieces that he will sort later (multiclass classification), and on the other, the worthless plastic. The fundamental question is: how does he carry out such a mission?

Unlike its robotic counterparts of the past, Wall-E stood out with its insatiable curiosity and desire to learn. Every day, it wandered through the forgotten corners of the planet, on a quest for buried and overlooked treasures. During one of its expeditions, in an abandoned old mine, Wall-E made a remarkable discovery: sparkling gold samples hidden beneath layers of soil and rock. Intrigued by these golden glimmers, it wondered if it could have fun estimating their value. As a robotic scholar, it knew that assessing the price of these nuggets depended on their purity. It was at this precise moment that it embarked on exploring a problem of utmost simplicity: Linear Regression.

In a post-apocalyptic world filled with waste, Wall-E is a solitary robot tasked with recycling. However, he doesn't just sort the waste; he learns and adapts, thus showcasing the early stages of artificial intelligence.
