Machine learning does just fine to extremely well at long term time series data; there are entire branches of machine learning dedicated to this. The fact that this imbecile never heard of these tools is why nobody should be reading his essay.
Uber's engineers didn't do this for their human finder because;
1) Image recognition stuff isn't explicitly built to do this (though it easily could be jury rigged to do so)
2) Uber's engineers apparently never heard of the concept of "moving averages" and "threshholds" which would have worked just fine.
"More precisely, today's machine learning (ML) systems cannot infer a fractal structure from time series data."
-look at this idiot using words he doesn't understand. Muh fractals.
- justapassenger 7y ago“Imbecile”, “idiot”? Please refrain from personal insults as they add nothing to the discussion.
- vitamins 7y agoToo bad this post was flagged before I could read it. It really deserved a Scott Locklin rant. It takes a special kind of disrespect to attack the field of machine learning from the viewpoint of a roleplaying techno mage.
- scottlocklin 7y ago"Imbecile" and "idiot" were measured and reasonable adjectives for the gibbering nonsense published above. The drooling lackwit who wrote this should be tarred and feathered for such frippery and nonsense. As I said above; machine learning does just fine to extremely well at long term time series data; there are entire branches of machine learning dedicated to this.
