Hi there! A lot of the fraud detection we do is actually anomaly detection, where we're not training a classifier on a labeled dataset, but instead creating a model that can surface unusual behavior. The subset of data that we surface

Another way of thinking about the warm-intro suggestion is that most investors are overwhelmed with pitches and need a basic filter. Other expert humans are still the best filter they have. Which is kind of too bad, because all of those hum

While I think you make valid points in general, they don't apply here for two reasons: 1) Russ has continued to do relevant and interesting work in the decade since those papers with Hinton. Here's his arXiv feed. The latest was i

This headline doesn't include the most important information. Russ was part of the big bang in deep learning about 10 years ago when he was Geoff Hinton's student. His name is on the 2006 papers about RBMs.[0] CMU is a great schoo

Yeah, I'm not criticizing the reporter much, despite a stray factual inaccuracy. I'm writing for an audience of potential sources to point out the risks of letting an interloper such as Tad Friend into your life. It's a trade

That depends on your goals for the piece. If you want to interview them again, then you're more careful. That's why, from the source's point of view, it's best to work with beat reporters and have long term relationships
