Machine Learning: Interview with Spencer Greenberg, CEO of Rebellion Research

Spencer Greenberg holds a B.S. Magna Cum Laude in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science, from Columbia University, and a Ph D. in Machine Learning, from NYU. Prior to Rebellion Research, he was Software Developer, Neuberger Berman, LLC and Engineer in The Investigative Project for Terrorism. Spencer has been interviewed on CNBC, Bloomberg News, Canada's BNN, and in the Wall Street Journal. He has also lectured at Columbia School of Business, and the NYU Stern School of Business. What type of machine learning do you use for Rebellion Research's AI system? A. We apply our own proprietary machine learning approach, which performs a form of Bayesian probabilistic modeling. We have found that off the shelf machine learning solutions usually do not work very well in our problem domain.
