Did the math-y parts of Physics translate well to AI?
- ternaus 6y agoGood question. Let me quote myself from https://www.toolbox.com/tech/big-data/articles/lyft-on-why-ridesharing-is-the-future-of-mobility/ https://www.toolbox.com/tech/big-data/articles/lyft-on-why-r... > I believe Physics and Machine Learning are really well aligned. > First, the level of Math that you learn in Physics is a few decades away from what you use in modern Machine Learning. This makes the theory behind machine learning easy to understand. > Second, and the most important is the mindset. In Physics, people are maneuvering between rigorous theory and actual data, trying to connect them sensibly. Machine Learning is very similar. > I may be biased about the alignment of Physics and machine learning. Still, I know at least 20 Kaggle Grandmasters that have Physics majors.
