Introduction¶
So how should we start?¶
I have already mentioned I want to get a lay of land to motivate myself to begin my journey into labriynth of algorithms, ideas and applications. I am infact not a novice in machine learning. I have executed big projects, delivered end to end solutions; I am by all account an expert coder. What is the most efficient path that I should take? Well I need to capitalize on the knowledge and skills I already have acquired from years of experience; leverage them to best of my abilities and make my own way forward.
Well this is all fine but what is my end goal? I can imagine a few areas in my personal life and my work which can greatly benefit from application of NLP.
Data mining knowledge base and yammer.
Using NLP to review, summarize and generate insights on DDRs; Safety, event or incidence histories.
Text mining and web scraping Oil & Gas knowledge bases, publications (papers)
Social network analysis like: Facebook, Google, Whatsapp
With advent of GPT-3, there are some interesting things happening in the world which I plan to learn and attack eventually. For now they serve as a source of inspiration of what is actually possible.
What I am going to do?¶
This is a very high level game plan
Read News and Articles¶
I will continue to read on inspiring examples like above and keep building on a repository of intuition and ideas
