In this first in an occasional series, we’re taking a look at machine learning initiatives at WePay — the kinds of problems we use machine learning for, how we build technology to address them, and how the unique challenges of the payments industry shape our approach. Since shell selling a common problem, and one that’s difficult for humans to spot, we decided to build a machine learning algorithm to help us catch it. MORE
The Future of Machine Intelligence is a free collection of 10 interviews machine learning experts filed by David Beyer. The interviews explain exactly where we are with the state-of-the-art, the challenges to advanced machine learning, and some of the applications. In fact, this summarization ability isn’t limited to graphical content: Perhaps five years is pushing it, but the notion of a machine reading a book for comprehension is not too distant. MORE
2016 was the year of machine learning. During last quarter of 2016, machine learning research has made huge strides.
