Is Machine Learning Research Moving in the Right Direction

            
            Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that develop automatically through experience. It is seen as a division of artificial intelligence. Some example of machine learning are deep learning, reinforcement learning and natural language processing. The study of machine learning has seen some of the biggest and brightest minds times and numerous budget of funding channeled into the chase of better, safer and more generalizable algorithms.
            There are likely 3 general goals for the study of machine learning. First is to create a machine that can operate in the world in a way that’s identical from humans. Secondly, as a promising tool to model the human brain and further our understanding of human intellectual. Third is focusing only on building commercially possible products that can replicate and automate simple processes and even be better than humans on highly specific tasks. Each of  these goals requires a different weighting of the algorithms being used and therefore a differential investment in lines of research. 
            The fact is that much these hard work to pursuit highly developed machine learning will create libraries and artifacts that can be derived from those focusing on another goal. In the same streak, as researches push for more information, it’s necessary that they collaborate with researches and sources across multiple disciplines to ensure what’s being built isn’t only algorithmically excellent but also methodologically sound and most importantly avoid bias opinions.
            An absence of clear definition around the direction of machine learning research can stimulate larger paranoia and involve people that aren’t related to the research to clain a direction.  For example is when there was an argument that Al is a “military technology” and corrected Google for building Al research labs in China. This so biased opinion had caused some problem. So, in my opinion researchers should instead seek to include those with complementary subject matter expertise and continue the culture of open science in machine learning.

How Big Data Can Boost Weather Forecasting

張岳庭 D0741017 Source:  https://www.wired.com/insights/2013/02/how-big-data-can-boost-weather-forecasting/ Considering the number of variables involved and the complex interactions between these variables, weather forecasting has always been extremely challenging. The significant increase in data collection and processing capabilities has greatly improved the ability of weather forecasters to pinpoint the time and severity of hurricanes, floods, snowstorms and other weather events. Globally, more and more evidence of climate change is prompting governments and scientists to take action to protect people and property from its effects. But to take effective measures, they need to know more about the weather-from everything that will happen tomorrow to what will happen next year. According to the professor of economics and finance , Alan Anderson, PhD , “Example of an application of big data to weather forecasting is IBM’s Deep Thunder. Unlike many weather forecasting systems...

How Big Data is Changing the Production Industry

Blog#4 : How Big Data is Changing the Production Industry Name : Aileen 蔣慧玲 Student ID : D0726917 Source :   https://www.productionhub.com/blog/post/how-big-data-is-changing-the-production-industry Information technology plays a major role in Hollywood. Producers have to use big data analytics to get the right consumers and communicate with them well. Big data technologies will help filmmakers figure out the best ways to share their ideas and deliver messages, develop movies and content that involve ethical and societal issues. Therefore, information that we can get from the help of big data can help filmmakers make key decisions. Big Data is Changing the Production Game Big data technology can help filmmakers to connect and engage with consumers more directly using social media, mobile devices and traditional advertising outlets. Using this technology, producers can develop promotions that reaches the right consumer at the right time. It is not enough just to mainta...

Big Data case study: 5 relevant examples from the airline industry

D0740712 Connie  吳霈晴 Website: https://blog.datumize.com/5-relevant-examples-of-a-big-data-case-study-from-the-airline-industry With the summer vacation coming, travel is the one that people love to do during vacation, especially long vacation, going abroad may be the first choice for many travelers. So this makes me think of what is the relationship between big data and airplanes? How will it apply on the airline industry? This article tells about the benefits of big data on airlines, which covers three main advantages. 1.      Smarter maintenance 2.      Safer flights 3.      Improve service The first one includes the fuel of airplane, by analyzing and predicting, the article takes some specific airplane company as an example, giving the real number and how much they save the cost. Second, safety. Like this kind of transportation has a higher risk to take, if have the big data’s help, th...
