Key Takeaways
  • Are you a mad scientist?
    • Scientist = someone who pursues knowledge in a structured way
    • Mad = uncontrollable and disastrous
  • Twitter is a cesspit of language
  • Studying the interactions of AI is really the study of how real humans interact
  • Many experts in the field of data science are mathematicians first and programmers second
    • It's all about being able to prove your results and make sure they are consistent and reproducible
    • Using math models to represent the data instead of a lot of if-then-else blocks
  • SCADA systems in oil and gas industry has very complex problems of monitoring 100,000's of data points and analyzing for leaks, equipment failures, etc
  • Azure machine learning tool has given the old systems an easy UI
    • Experts can build and train a model in less than a day, used to take months
    • Allows data scientists to solve different types of problems faster
    • Get nice added features that didn't get before
  • The amount of machine learning capabilities available on high-end cell phones are incredible
    • Some problems may be able to move out of the cloud and onto the device
    • You can distribute map/reduce problems to cell phones
  • More programming languages are supporting machine learning frameworks, meaning more developers can solve machine learning problems
  • If you want to get into machine learning, just start building
    • Find a problem and start working on it from a mathematical perspective
