What initially got you interested in artificial intelligence? I was reading a book on probability when I came across a famous theorem. At the time, I naively wondered if I could apply this theorem into a natural language problem I was attempting to solve at work. As it turns out, the algorithm already existed unbeknownst to me, it was called the Naïve Bayes, a very famous and simple generative model used in classical machine learning. That theorem was Bayes theorem.
