It seems like reinforcement learning would be useful, i.e. at a high level, forming a policy for recommendations would require balancing exploration (experimenting with more risky recommendations) vs. exploitation…
I like the observation about the importance of concentration. In addition to reading, I've noticed that studying mathematics is an opportunity to practice (or build) the ability to focus on frustratingly difficult…
That makes sense, thanks
Agreed, I was just curious since some of the comments below seemed to imply that PhDs / PostDocs lack certain software development skills (although I personally haven't seen this). If so, this would either suggest that…
Does this also apply to large industrial labs, e.g. MSR, IBM Research, Google research etc.? Or are there software developers who work together with researchers in those places, perhaps resulting in better quality code?
