It seems like you missed the point. Andrew Ng is not there to give you production grade models. He exists to deliver a proof of concept that needs refinements.

It seems like you missed the point. Andrew Ng is not there to give you production grade models. He exists to deliver a proof of concept that needs refinements. >Here's an idea that could use some polish, but I think as an esteemed AI researcher that it could improve your models. -- Andrew Ng >OH MY GOSH! IT ISN'T PRODUCTION READY OUT OF THE BOX, LOOK AT HOW DUMB THIS STUFFED SHIRT HAPPENS TO BE!!! -- You Nobody appreciates a grandstander. You're really treading on thin ice by attacking someone who has given so much to the AI community and asked for so little in return. Andrew Ng clearly does this because he enjoys it. You are here to self-promote and it looks bad on you.

we respect andrew a lot, as we mentioned in our blog! he's an absolute legend in the field, founded google brain, coursera, worked heavily on baidu ai. this is more to inform everyone not to blindly trust new document extraction tools without really giving them challenges!

This is not about some paper Ng published with a new idea that needs some polishing before being useful in the real world. It's a product released by a company Ng cofounded. So expecting production-readiness isn't asking for too much in my opinion.

  Except it's a video introducing the concept and trying to create buzz around it and inviting people to try it (for free), and providing a link to the page where you can do so. (at least as far as I could tell). So yes, but not really. This is more like when google released the initial android, and offered it to people to try to get feedback. Yes it's not offered as an obfuscated academic paper in a paywalled journal, but implying the video is promoting a half-baked product as production-ready for quick profit just because it's hosted in a proper landing page is a bit of an extreme take I think.
