Adnan Masood, a Machine Learning Phd's musings on Life, Technology, Research & Development
Last week I spoke at DevIntersection in Las Vegas with Microsoft's Daniel Egan on Cognitive Services. Microsoft Cognitive Services is a collection of Representational State Transfer (RESTful) intelligent application program interfaces (APIs) that allow systems to see, hear, speak, understand, and interpret people’s needs by using natural methods of communication. Developers can use these APIs to…
Democratizing AI - For every person and every organization is a ubiquitously rising trend across Microsoft, as well as other major tech companies since Satya Nadella laid out his vision for how deep learning and artificial intelligence will transform the company. Google shifted and revealed its AI first strategy in I/O and even though Tensorflow is…

If I have to rate typical conversations with machine learning enthusiasts, following queries usually rank at the top: "How do I pick an algorithm for my dataset?" "How do I know which one is the right algorithm to choose for my problem?" "Does logistic regression makes my dataset looks big?" Well, maybe not that last…
The Fallacies of Data Science
1. Correlation = Causation, and Big Data = Information and Insights because Data Context Doesn't Matter.
2. The random nature of the event drives the distribution, therefore the likely distribution also drive the events.
3. Base Rate Fallacy only applies to small data-sets.
