"Your Expertise Is No Longer Needed" - Sincerely, DEEP Learning.

There is a trend happening right now in machine learning where subject matter expertise is being replaced. Approaches that previously required a subject expert now have naive approaches that are beating the world's best experts. What the smartest and brightest experts know, which was previously respected, in some cases offers minimal to no value now. One of the major problems that most people see when dealing with natural language processing problems (NLP) is the issue of sparsity. The words that are being picked up in the documents, social stream, or whatever feed you care about are too unique.
