AI in addition to ML?
Well, topic is techno-ish, isn't it? I've been involved in training people within the company to apply deep learning in their work. It is truly delightful to see talented people quickly grasp the concepts and tools and proceed to create very nice applications quite soon afterwards. There is something special about deep learning which adds spark to the eyes of the cognoscenti. Having done my Ph.D. in computational physics, I was at first surprised by the attitude about this particular class of algorithms, both that of others as well as my own. I remember feeling child-like joy seeing a sequence model producing a good time series prediction for the first time. I also remember feeling rather less enthusiastic about some other algorithms during the Ph.D. research. Way back, if I may add. There are t heoretical reasons why deep learning is a special case. Most likely also the general enthusiasm about the discipline adds to one's excitement. Tooling such as Spyder IDE and...
