The title of this article is misleading. I thought it was a discussion of the "Cold Start Problem" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_start_(computing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_start_(computing)), which is a common technical challenge. Instead, it is a recollection of two stories for how to get a job in ML.
- nostromo 8y agoIt's a playful title -- using a term from the field in a new way.
- dotancohen 8y agoIt is using a term from the field in an incorrect way.
- gdy 8y agoYou've just failed the Turing test :)
- cwilkes 8y agoHuh that’s an interesting way of thinking about the Turing Test. State something that is categorically wrong according to a dictionary lookup (“cold start problem” means X in machine learning and ML only) and see if the respondent can be maliable enough to use that in a different context. Course that’s the definition of a Turing test but in a way I hadn’t thought about.
- gdy 8y agoWell, you know, this common technical challenge got its name from another problem.
- danielmorozoff 8y agoOmg yes ! I was confused having read the first paragraph and did not understand why it was titled this way.
- make3 8y agoI thought the title expressed what the article was about very clearly, and I expect most people will feel the same.
