There's a lot more stuff to do with ML and make money than ad targeting
- gaius 8y agoWhat did you have in mind?
- russdpale 8y agoTo me, the best applications are going to be those by which the human and the ML'd AI will benefit each other by a greater degree than if each were on their own. At my particular company in logistics, I can see many places where it can be applied- especially in the dispatching of deliveries and helping to set up a call with customer support.
- gaius 8y agoPredictive maintenance I think will be big as well
- solomatov 8y agoAdtech is the highest paid application of ML.
- manigandham 8y agoBased on what exactly? ML is not that common in adtech companies, many just lie about some basic regression testing. Some even just put up a facade in front of grunts with excel. Even the most sophisticated ad modeling pales in comparison to fintech and bioscience/pharma where the real money is.
- matte_black 8y agoMaybe that’s true, but if the ML ad targeting industry disappears, several of those currently employed ML workers have little to no reason to exist.
- cbcoutinho 8y agoYikes! Why the hyperbole? I'm sure if someone is clever enough to learn and be productive with ML, they'll be able to pivot and be productive in another field and/or using other tools.
- gipp 8y agoHe's talking about the positions, not the people in them.
