Note that this is about the ML programming language, and not Machine Learning. It's been really annoying to tell the two apart in headlines lately, and I'm glad that "Machine Learning" is falling out of marketing favour so I have a higher chance of finding ML (the language) things.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoHuh? If anything, the acronym for ML acronym for machine learning has become further entranched and ML the language gets virtually no coverage these days, even the FP people are more likely to talk about how to do ML in Haskell... Search for ML in the monthly job postings. Guess how many mean machine learning and how many refer to the programming language :).
- boondaburrah 9y agoYeah I know. That's exactly what bothers me.
- jaredsohn 9y agoI assume the OP is saying that people are starting to use the term "deep learning" (or other terminology?) instead of "machine learning" in marketing.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoDeep learning is still often abbreviated ML...just because DL hasn't really caught on.
- 35bge57dtjku 9y agoI want whatever boondaburrah's been smoking.
- boondaburrah 9y agoMe too, man. Me too.
- Cybiote 9y agoAs someone of skill in both topics, I was similarly confused but my misapprehension remained for a few seconds more. As luck would have it, the first sentence my eyes alighted on was Trees and Concrete Data.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoHas anyone wrote "ML in ML" yet?
- collyw 9y agoThanks for that. I thought I might actually need to click on the article :)
- emmanueloga_ 9y agoYour commented reminded me of when a coworker asked me to rename an algebraic data types generator from "ADTgen" to something else, since "everybody knows ADT means 'abstract data types'" :-).
- folli 9y agoI definitely parsed it as 'Machine Learning', only to be thrown off by the "1996".
