Fitbit for cows and the dark magic of machine learning

"Machine learning is really not dark magic, it's just another tool." As the leading professor involved in the development of Google Brain, and Google's Director of Augmented Intelligence Research, he worked on their release of their open-source library for machine learning, Tensorflow. "Our main hurdle is to get people educated on how this works in practice." He shared that practical advice last week at TQ in Amsterdam (disclaimer: TQ is part of TNW), alongside three startups that each have their own hands-on experience with machine learning as well. For years now, the decreasing costs of computation power and data storage have gone hand in hand with the explosive birth of tech startups.
