Its fine if people want to say that ML will take care of the "details" ...let them try to use ML right and they will see you need to spend a long time understanding how to do things right. Most of the time, you can't use linear regressions right out of the box, let alone SVM's.
- arasraj 15y agoAgreed. The use of ML is highly dependent on the data. Having a something like the Prediction api is fine, but seems like the use-cases would be rigid.
- taliesinb 15y agoYup, and if commit to it and suddenly realize you need a little more flexibility than the API provides, you're probably in a worse position than if you rolled it yourself. Real-world ML is so full of black magic and hackery that it's the LAST thing I'd try to sell as a web service.
