Say Hi to Machine Learning

        return hired

    while(i<max_epochs):
        dw = grad(w,w*x)
        w = w - lr*dx
        i += 1
    return w*x

Data, Democratization, Devices

Why has Machine Learning been so successful ?

(c) One Fourth Labs

 

In most applications we have limited intuition but infinite data

 

ML engines have been standardised and democratised 

 

Show many gears and then say it is about matching a gear to your data ?

Different roles in the ML world

How this relates to you ?

(c) One Fourth Labs

 

Show the gears and data on LHS

 

Show a pyramid: 

- Most problems about curating data

- Some problems about optimizing existing algorithms

- Research on new algorithms

Takeaway

How do we contrast expert systems from machine learning?

(c) One Fourth Labs

Expert systems are useful when we can specify rules - some use cases still exist

 

But primarily focus is on machine learning, where rules are discovered by learning from data

 

// show a collage of respective applications

// very few icons for expert systems

// many many icons for ML
