I'm a masters student (Mathematical Modeling and Computing at the Technical University of Denmark), and my primary focus is on machine learning. As a student, however, it's hard to know where and how machine learning is applicable, and to understand your place in industry and science. So this post is sort of for us students, who as of yet are nothing more than machine learning nerds.
Maybe some of you work in some field where you use machine learning as a tool, or you hire machine learning experts to help you? I'd like your insight.
Maybe you are some sort of machine learning expert, and have applied it in one or several fields?
Stuff I've found:
I learned in this talk (among other things) that maybe us machine learning people have a tendency to apply incredibly complicated machine learning systems to everything.
I learned in talks about cognitive science and artificial intelligence such as this one, that you can draw a lot of wisdom from these field and apply the concepts in machine learning, and the other way around apply machine learning to solve problems in these fields.
