The confluence of the following things will cause machine learning to bring about a revolution: Already large amounts of data collected.  Large pools of data have been collected, but haven’t been used as much as they could be.  Machine learning can teach itself about patterns in the data, and then apply these patterns to new…

Moneyball could be real? Optimising results The movie Moneyball showed a system whereby using past statistics and raw data, the best training methods could be achieved. Predicting sports winners Based on the theory that past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour, machine learning will be able to better automatically predict sports winners.  We…

Supply chain One of the first ways that machine learning was demonstrated effective, was when machine learning was proven to be more effective at identifying malignant melanomas than top medical experts. An interesting article on identifying problems in a supply chain takes this further.  Machine learning could be trained in identifying and faulty products in a…

Due to government legislation, not many large databases are linked or joined. As data is used more together, it exponentially becomes more powerful and invades privacy.  The pieces of a person’s life can be pieced together and the puzzle becomes clearer. Did you know that if all your data was linked, I could: Tell you…

Every day, you present something to strangers that is remarkably unique and that can be used to identify you.  Your face. Ramifications of the new technology The confluence of increased use of security cameras, and more effective facial recognition technology will have huge ramifications. And for most of us, it’s too late to opt out.…
