Deep learning: to become a leader in AI, Ozge Yeloglu first had to figure out how to believe in herself

Editor's note: We sat down with data scientist and artificial intelligence evangelist Ozge Yeloglu to talk about her love of machine learning and how she battles perfectionism. This story is told in her own words. On my first day of college classes at Ege University in Turkey, I sat down in the computer lab and was instructed to insert the floppy disk. I stared blankly at the computer, because I had no idea what a floppy disk was or how to put it in correctly. I quickly looked over at the kids next to me and watched what they did.
