Alex Guazzelli is a director of machine learning in Amazon’s Customer Trust and Partner Support unit. He was recently asked what makes a great scientist, and as the leader of a science team, he thought it was a question worth exploring. This is his answer. https://t.co/sXuIQWbG3s

The Amazon Last Mile Research Challenge we co-hosted with our colleagues from @mitsupplychain was a great success. I'm positive it will foster #research and #innovation in #lastmile delivery for years to come. Thanks to all participants & congrats to the winners. @AmazonScience

[Amazon Science @AmazonScience]

In February, Amazon collaborated with @mitsupplychain to challenge academic teams to train machine learning models to predict delivery routes chosen by experienced drivers. A trio of academics recently took first place. Learn more about the challenge. #MIT https://t.co/9I389EhC9r

Fun fact: in the '40s Alan Turing proposed using gin (yes, the alcohol) for data storage.

He said it had the acoustic properties to replace mercury as the medium for delay line memory, a precursor to RAM.
