Abstract:
We are seeing the first phases of
a major transformation in the way technology is created, driven by machine
learning. In contrast to the longer-term aspiration of creating human-level
general intelligence in machines, this shift is happening now and is pervasive
and far-reaching. It also has important implications for the way we do
research, both in industry and academia, giving a strong focus to partnerships
and to multi-disciplinary teams. In this talk, I will discuss the nature of
this transformation, and highlight why the coming decade will be a hugely
exciting, and critically important, time to engage deeply in machine learning
for those who seek to have real-world impact through technology.
