#309 What ML Can Teach Us About Life: 7 Lessons

Category: Technology
Duration: 00:55:44

Description: Machine learning and data science are full of best practices and important workflows. Can we extrapolate these to our broader lives? Eugene Yan and I give it a shot on this slightly more philosophical episode of Talk Python To Me.

The seven lessons:

1. Data cleaning: Assess what you consume
2. Low vs. high signal data: Seek to disconfirm and update
3. Explore-Exploit: Balance for greater long-term reward
4. Transfer Learning: Books and papers are cheat codes
5. Iterations: Find reps you can tolerate, and iterate fast
6. Overfitting: Focus on intuition and keep learning
7. Ensembling: Diversity is strength
