love what the expert said how coding is so secondary now and it is more about the bigger picture i.e. understanding the model, its applicability in certain industries, and its effect in society

Somebody still has the code the bigger picture, but with so many libraries, and tools being so readily available, people barely really write their own code anymore.

[@cozyrain410]

"coding" has always been secondary, archiecture has always been the primary focus of literallu everything.

[@distractedfish35]

In my CS program its been heavily implied that lookin at the bigger picture structure first makes the coding easier, Its like outlining an essay vs writing it on the fly.

[@SAL-9000]

That's always been the case, and is a general rule in engineering. What she's talking about is specific to Machine Learning in the sense that, a decade ago it was still mostly an academic pursuit and they were simply trying to figure out how to approach the problem i.e. how to translate the mathematics to code and optimize the running because after all the code runs on millions of data points and it had to be optimized as much as it can. Now it'll all about getting the end result right, because the basic platform has been mostly laid correctly, and more so because the results are being used for real-life application. So, getting them right is the big problem now.

[@shreyhours]

I think it's amazing that you can see a curve in the explanations given. A bell curve literally. It started with really simple and understandable explanations, got gradually more complex with the grad student and became simple again with the expert.

[@SiMeGamer]

@@sliceofbread29yrago52 That's incorrect. At the most fundamental level there are undeniable truths (not even facts). The realm of metaphysics with application of the most fundamental logical axioms (fundamental epistemology) can move you in a direction that is rigorous at the most fundamental level of philosophical debate. Whether you accept those facts is dependent if you agree with the logic. But if the logic is intrinsic and thus axiomatic, then not adhering to said logic will show itself in fallacies down the road. Certain philosophies are factually incorrect because they rely on axioms that are based on nothing but faith (like Altruism as a core in many ethical and political philosophies). By faith I'm not referring only to a higher power/religion, although that is a fairly popular example. If the answer to your axioms when asked "why?" is "because" rather than a proper rigorous answer, then it is fallacious at its core. What I explained right now is not something that most people accept in higher education philosophy which I think is absurd since it's something anyone can confirm for themselves with various simple thought experiments, so I wouldn't expect a Wired video of this type to be good at all.

It was mostly just the computation that was lacking to be able to train these models. And the big advancement in the last few years has been the transformer architecture (2017).

Oh my god 😂

OMG definitely should do that, that's a whole new level

And next video on topic: FBI AGENT EXPLAINS ALL HIS SECRETS TO KIDS, ADULTS AND CRIMINALS

[@itsabsek]

I guess you are not invited

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

But John Douglas already did that... Joking, ofcourse.

Suggestion: Economist explains inflation in 5 levels

[@kumartatsat868]

level 1: ELI5 level 2: technical definition of ML level 3: intricate methods and workings of ML (not too deep, but still not shallow either)' level 4: what do you know about ML? level 5: discuss the past, present and future of ML leve 6: TBD :)

[@Belioyt]

Am very impressed with Hilary Mason. Great addition to this series.

[@nickbaker5296]

Love the number of women discussing and practicing these fields!

[@tayaraaktube]

Why?

[@all2jesus]

That's exactly the problem. Choosing people based on genitals, instead of competence. Sexist !

[@tayaraaktube]

@@alokbaluni8760 so what? If women are not interested in these fields why is this an issue?

@@earthysophie by now you mean somewhere around 1917 when equality was established e.g. in Soviet Russia?

[@Omar-kl3xp]

@@earthysophieI don’t think that’s true at all, women def are capable of becoming computer scientist ,I believe that they are just less interested in this topic compared to men ,maybe in the future will change.

[@Amayelle15]

I have a bachelor's degree in Environmental Geography and I must say, it eases to hear scientists being optimistic about the future...

[@haidetb2520]

This is so inspiring I don’t know if it is just me but, up till now in my computer science education I have just encounter 3 women so to see more women being passionate about computer science is so amazing ❤️much respect for these intelligent women

My CS class: 3 females and 50 males

[@mimis.5139]

Our was 12 girls and 50 boys... computer science engineering needs to be promoted into females life... they just like maths not for me machines not for me... coz the surroundings never encouraged

[@smlckz]

It is one of those videos in 5 levels series that I could actually understand in its entirety. But the last one, talking with an expert, wasn't that hard for me to understand than I expected.. Is it only me or others also find the talk of expert level is actually more accessible than expected?

[@jinjunliu2401]

Yeah for me as well and my understanding of this topic is pretty basic. But because they were mainly chatting about the current landscape and what the future beholds, without going into actual technical detail, it was all pretty good to understand

[@l1mbo69]

Their talk wasn't technical

[@user_2793]

They were probably told to keep technicals to a minimum.

[@ClearerThanMud]

The expert wasn't aware of uses of AI in agriculture, but I remember seeing a video of a system that goes up and down the rows of a field with a camera, uses AI to recognize weeds, and applies an herbicide to the weeds without getting it on the crop plants. So cool.

[@LabGecko]

I think she meant more general adoption of ML in agriculture, and use at governmental levels to predict loss stoppage and population need, etc. It's still pretty niche and limited in scope in ag.

[@gabrieletiboni]

I've been studying machine learning for 2 years and I can tell you this woman is really smart by the way she's wording the topic

[@paoandrecm]

I actually recently learned she's one of the first Data Scientists and one of the most well-known today. So I agree with you she's 'really smart', and would even say those two words don't start to do her justice.

[@sakshamnagar3407]

By far this is the best explanation I've herd about supervised and un supervised learning

[@salmanfarisi6562]

That delayed response between 4:11 - 4:13 is really concerning me

[@jaybodz9124]

She's an AI.

[@takudzwamarwendo627]

Her: So the test shouldn't have problems you haven't seen before ? Kid : Yes Me : Sweet summer child

[@thighdude7]

IRL the test has problems you haven't seen before and will test two or more concepts you've seen before simultaneously combined in novel ways (synthesis) to test your understanding of the concepts themselves...

[@xXBenutzer235Xx]

@@thighdude7 Which is WAY better than just regurgitating information and a lot more important too. Almost everyone can just learn some vocabulary or learn how to solve the derivative of x^2 but actually applying the principles is what is really important to show that you actually understood what you studied.

[@kelseymcdonald6769]

Love this so much! It demystifies a complex, yet ubiquitous topic that impacts everyone in society. Great job :)

[@randomsdrop]

WOW THIS IS SO INTERESTING!!! I’ve recently been very interested with machines, computer science, and stuff like that. This was a great video that makes me even more curious about this topic!!

[@WilliamChan]

Awesome video and a great emphasis on the data quality/bias side of machine learning people don't usually talk about in depth.

[@musashi939]

Ironic, considering the the female bias in this video 🤣

[@WilliamChan]

@@musashi939 I mean, I don't think it's a problem in this case. It's a presentation and I think showing capable women in a traditionally male dominated field is a positive thing.

[@musashi939]

@@WilliamChan I just thought it was funny. Talking about data bias in machine learning while only having women on the video,.

[@xjohnson9889]

@musashi939 Is gender really a data point at this time? I think we have far bigger fish to fry then worrying about the orientation of whose catching and the catch itself.

[@giga_puddin]

I love this series! Please keep uploading these videos!

[@jitendrakumarsingh1137]

Man she is genius. She can make me understand like everything.

[@flamingphoenix8804]

This was brilliant!🙏 The expert has a beautiful way of explaining the whole concept in a simple way without ignoring the nuances ..

[@alexeysmolyaninov1817]

that last talk is absolutely marvellous. I have got lost in my thought especially when a guest asked about is ML used for the good purposes. That would provably be a good idea for the next Netflix series :D . Scary... We are trackable and even at some extend predictable

[@LuisAlvarez-yz2tv]

I believe that easy to use tools shouldn’t be seen as a problem for new learning but should be seen as an opportunity for the new generation to be able to create new stuff so fast using those tools. Then maybe we will create more concise tools with those tools. Exponentially improving.

[@lucasratti]

The guest expert actually repeats the same sentence twice 20:23 (until "...living up to its expectation") and then 21:19

[@anthonyanalytics]

I’m about to start my first year in my masters program for data science and analytics, my distance is human centered science design and we will be learning about machine and deep learning.

[@suleb1]

How cool! At what university if you don’t mind me asking?

[@avafiery]

Loved the last conversation, learned a lot about what data scientists are struggling with and where they see the field heading!

[@MrBoubource]

I think it is better to put what the explained concept is in the title. I don't remember ever clicking one of these videos but this one was an instant 'add to watch later'

[@vitek_s]

2:42 when she talks about how machines can’t be creative - that just feels like a flashback video played in the distant (terminator) future.

[@starlight8554]

This is a topic I know next to nothing about, so it’s v interesting to listen to.

[@lucasb.bahadir7433]

I like how as the levels go up, there is less explanation but more discussions and at the expert level it's really just an intellectual debate of potentials and problems about the bigger picture without barely any tech talk.

[@brulvs]

I love how the conversation transitioned to human side situations, challenges and possibilities of ML in next years when started to speak with the expert.
