Sounds like someone is applying statistics with lower statistical thresholds and calling the method "AI" instead.

- larrydag 8y agoThat's what I thought too. It sounds like basic data analysis. Nothing wrong with that because it brought good results. Why tag the project with AI?
- reaperducer 8y agoFunding.
- totoglazer 8y agoI say neigh to their posterior confidence interval.
- mr_toad 8y agoClustering & unsupervised machine learning are still considered to be branches of AI. Not everything is neural nets and DL.
- bayesian_horse 8y agoYes, of course, but this article seems to be neither unsupervised nor supervised learning, just some data analysis and statistics. It's not that it is completely different from AI, but you don't need the term "AI" to describe it, except if you want to hide the methodological weaknesses. They say they haven't really studied if the recommendations work in practice, it's just the prediction of a statistical model.
