Disclaimer: This talk is about the models, processes, and algorithms that power machine learning APIs rather than about the API itself.
Machine learning is fast becoming ubiquitous, from large enterprises to small startups. In this talk, we’ll embark on a journey with a small risk management startup, and we’ll talk about how snowflakes & trees and chickens & eggs came together to help the startup implement its own flavor of machine learning. This is the story of the cold decision tree and how it solved the cold start problem.
