Machine Learning Makers 🛠

Machine Learning Makers Community. Learn, build and ship ML products together.

[Machine Learning Makers 🛠 @ML_Makers]

Hello world!

We have just launched https://t.co/bMefI5hEB5, a community for #MachineLearning #Makers and #Entrepreneurs.

Our aim is ti attract ML people with maker or entrepreneurial spirit to encourage the development of ML real world applications.

Sharing is appreciated 📢❤️

The World Cup is about to start and I want to share a great paper on football analytics

⚽️VAEP - Valuing actions by estimating probabilities

Problem: players are valued by simple statistics like goals + assists or xG and xA, which constitute less than 1% of their actions

Attention is all you need (but this time in terms of marketing, not model layers).

Stable Diffusion has become a perfect viral content generator on social media. This attention is starting to drive more money into the AI field, and so growth will be hugely accelerated.

STOP complaining about bad quality data if you're a data scientist.

Most likely you'll keep your job thanks to it.

With clean data:
- Develop a model
- Deploy it (+data pipeline)
- Add MLOps with auto retraining when needed
- Now what?

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

COVID taught data scientists a huge lesson: MLOps is key for reacting as quick as possible to unexpected future events.

Let's see now if we really learned from it.

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

Being an autonomous Machine Learning engineer is getting really hard over time.

Now it's not just about mastering ML and DL, or tabular + image + text data. There's a huge new skillset to learn.

Should we look for ML generalists or specialisation is the way to succeed?

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

With the rise of MLOps, software engineering skills are becoming even more important when working in data science. This will impact people switching careers from a less technical position, as well as bootcamps offering data science programs with low entry requirements.

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

One of the first things you learn when you start working as a data scientist in most companies.

You have small or middle sized tabular datasets, you try NNs because you just took some DL course and they look cooler, but then a "simple" model dot fit on Sklearn performs better.

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

Machine Learning in 2022:

- Everyone amazed by DALL-E 2 and thinking that AI will replace them on their jobs

VS

- 99% of data scientists still sweating every single day trying to create some value from the noisy tabular data they work with and bring it to production

I've tracked tweets talking about Clubhouse and their sentiment score from around 6200 online entrepreneurs.
- Hype is going down
- Haters percentage is almost constant
- Peaks are explained by big players entering the platform (@elonmusk , @naval ...)

Matplotlib is really useful, but its syntax is sometimes hard to remember. These examples are a good source of inspiration.

Don't learn ML with cheat sheets, but use them when needed.

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

Notebooks are a messy tool for #ML if you don't write reusable code. Invest time on creating your own AutoML framework and you'll work 10x faster.

Object oriented programming forces you being organised and thus more productive in the long term. Focus on SW engineering skills.

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

I loved @madewithml since it came out but I even like more how it has pivoted. @GokuMohandas perfectly expresses what I feel about the noisy abundance #MachineLearning content for Data Scientists / Sw devs. Filtering quality content is the right path.

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

I'm getting addicted to solo entrepreneur live content. It's much more valuable seeing the whole picture even if there's no success.

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

Will we come back to the starting point? We didn't want to pay for individual songs or movies and then Spotify and Netflix changed our consumption behavior. Will paid content be aggregated under big platforms? If so, the abundance vs filtering content problem arises again.

5/5

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

That means that:
- Price competition will be huge. This value perception depending on price has a limit on how much money people are willing to spend in total on online content.
- Paid content will have less value perception as many people will try to make quick money.

4/5

[Rodrigo Barbado Esteban @rodbarest]

The challenge now will be pricing content properly. Paying 10$ for reading a single newsletter is cheap, but of course people need more than one piece of valuable content per week. As this is becoming a trend, more paid content will be created.
