Just started reading Terrence Sejnowski's book, "The Deep Learning Revolution". Looks really interesting, but I got stuck on the very first paragraph. (See below.) The highlighted part is far from being true!

I'm confused why people talk about "democratizing" #AI. Is requiring a knowledge&skill undemocratic? Do we complain that car repair, piano playing, football, archeology, and horseback riding haven't been democratized?

That's not the way it's used. "Democratization is defined as the action/development of making something accessible to everyone, to the 'common masses.'" kdnuggets.com/2018/01/democr…

Early prototypes of reviziting the receipt, one piece of a larger question I want explore: how can viz be integrated into everyday experiences?

"Please Stop Explaining Black Box Models for High-Stakes Decisions", a new paper by Cynthia Rudin, argues the importance of inherent interpretability of learned models. arxiv.org/pdf/1811.10154…

These are classification performance curves from two models (called datasets here), followed by a table of common metric values. Which model is better? #DataScience

Case study of unfortunate evaluation methodology. Yes, deep learning predicts earthquake aftershock patterns (blog.google/technology/ai/…) --- but no better than logistic regression (arxiv.org/abs/1904.01983).

Slides worth looking at: How to recognize #AI snake oil. cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/talks… "For predicting social outcomes, AI is not substantially better than manual scoring using just a few features"

Please stop saying that #Python closely resembles the English language. Just stop. It's a ludicrous thing to say and the comparison doesn't help anyone.

The aphorism "All models are wrong, some are useful" is like "Drastic times call for drastic measures". It's often used to justify something really awful.
