95% of machine learning models at Google and Facebook are neural nets
“So if you look at a company like Google or Facebook, almost all of their models, like, 95% of their models are neural net based.”
Insight
10,000 data points is the threshold to start building machine learning models
“If you have 10,000 data points, that's my rule of thumb. If you have 10,000 data points, you're ready to build a model.”
Opinion
Bindu Reddy considers H2O.ai and DataRobot to be non-competitors to Abacus.AI
“So if somebody actually knows our space, but HTO and data robot are really, we, I mean, maybe they consider themselves our competitors. We like to think of them as non-competitors. The reason for that is their real focus, as you probably may know, is on the au…”
Insight
Data processing and wrangling is the most problematic part of machine learning
“AutoML is one piece of this, which is finding the right model based on your data. We actually automate the whole end-to-end, and most of the chunk of the work we do is in the data processing wrangling management, which, you know, if you guys are a data scienti…”
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Machine learning models for images and language will soon require less data
“So, ah, you know, I think the state of the art is moving very rapidly, ah, and so that you can, like, teach models with less and less data, and this will be the case for both images and language very soon.”
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Real-time transformation tools for large data volumes are the next big trend
“Anything and everything which helps you do data transformations on large amounts of data in real time, I think is going to be the big thing, and sooner or later we're going to figure something out there.”
Assertion Supported
An Abacus.AI co-founder is the original creator of Google BigQuery
“One of our co-founders is the founder of BigQuery.”
