Careers in Data Science (Video & Transcript). Or, how to land a 6-figure Wall Street job
Careers and data science [From a 2013 talk by Acculation’s CEO to undergraduate political science majors about careers in data science.] Hi, I’m Dr. Werner Krebs, Ph.D., CEO of Acculation. Hopefully, you’ll subscribe to our YouTube channel (click here) and checkout one of these other videos on our channel when you’re done with this one, and if you like this video be sure to click that like button. Careers: what not to do when applying for a job? A couple of approaches don’t work. “Hi, I’m a really bright guy. Hire me! I have a new idea!” “Hire me! I’m really bright!” doesn’t work too well. #Careers Click To Tweet With the possible exception of strategy consultants, academics, and think tanks, companies generally don’t hire people just because they’re smart. They hire people because they have an existing business process need. So, they’re making widgets or making software and they have to too many order for the widgets or their software.… Read the restCool data-driven social media video: repurposing best content
We repurposed some of our most popular social media content into cool videos, 3D printed objects, and virtual items. To demonstrate repurposing content in a data-driven way, we created the “Best of Acculation IG: Data-driven social media” video shown in this post. Basically, we took our most liked photo posts on Instagram, and turned them into a short video which we uploaded to YouTube (also below). [Update May 2018: Our services to provide data-driven, AI & algorithmically generated content as shown here have gotten a lot of press recently (click here for recent press details). If you are interested in pricing or learning more about how we may be able to help your organization with data-driven, automatically created social media content, please contact us to learn more (click here).] Cool video of AI algo-generated multiplatform social content that got press … aka transmedia aka crossmedia aka multi-media … when will they decide on a name?… Read the restSignal processing, motion, and artificial intelligence: Ted Talk
Intelligence, signal processing, and motion Intelligence, as it evolved in the natural world, is closely connected to motion. As at least one neuroscientist has noted that no motion means no need for a brain. We generalize a neuroscience Ted Talk linking brains to muscles to argue that intelligence is best considered a form of signal processing in a very noisy environment. This is very different from the traditional symbolic paradigm of artificial intelligence, which is not at all suited for signal processing. We had a tremendous reader response (mostly on various different social media sites) in response to our superintelligence article. We have a lot of ground to cover to respond to all the comments. We have to explain why any of a number of paradigms place limits on any computing system (including a superintelligent one). We need to talk about why intelligence likely scales with non-linear diminishing returns with effort (and why that may make superintelligence difficult).… Read the restRay Kurzweil Ted Videos on Dinosaur Extinctions
Our of our most popular posts have touched on Ray Kurzweil themes of the Singularity as well as Ray Kurzweil’s decades-old ideas on wearables that appear to have inspired Google Glass. We noticed he’s done at least one additional Ted Talk since we ran our articles. (Oh. We needed a photo for an earlier version this, so we did this glitch art of the earlier Singularity-themed photo:) Kurzweil had quite a career. After coming to national prominence at an early age on a national quiz show for his computer-generated music (in the old Black & White mainframe days), he invented a reading machine for the blind (and OCR and speech synthesis in the process). He went on to start a eponymous music synthesizer company (one of many successful companies he’s founded). Recently he founded Singularity University and did a stint at Google working on artificial intelligence. The predictions in his best-selling books and videos, based on Moore’s law, have been eerily accurate.… Read the restRecent Comments
