How an Internal Competition Boosted Our Machine Learning Skills
We're big fans of open collaboration to learn, grow, and incite innovation, but sometimes you need to feel the heat of a competitor to push yourself forward. With our company's internal AI competition, we did just that. We selected a relevant challenge and our engineers competed against each other in small groups to develop -- at the same time -- both the best and most efficient machine learning model. That's right: We used a trade-off here because for real-world AI problems, you can't always grab the biggest model with the highest performance. There are cost and time constraints to consider.
