IxDA London meetup -- Algorithms, Machine Learning, AI and us designers -- theuxblog.com

He was talking about 4 ways we can improve user experience using algorithms and machine learning. In all of these Giles was emphasizing the role of the algorithm, which like a cog sits between collecting the raw data and spitting out the extracted, packaged up information for the user to act upon. One of the points Giles made was around finding the right balance between the complexity of data needed for analysis. Complexity time and effort so you end up looking for the sweet spot of minimum data to get the desired information. Another point was to decide between: - High bias -- you aim to be precise, but if you get it wrong it is noticeably wrong.
