A new vision for the global brain: Deep learning with people instead of machines

A new vision for the global brain: Deep learning with people instead of machines

In deep learning, individual "neuronal" computational actions are simple but aggregated over several neurons and iterated through several computation cycles can solve complex problems. What if we swapped out neurons for people? What kinds of complex problems could we solve? Omoju Miller offers a new vision for the global brain, where we harness human action for a better future.

Consider a machine learning technique like deep learning, where each individual “neuronal” computational action is fairly simple but aggregated over several neurons and iterated through several computation cycles can solve complex problems like image recognition and machine translation. What if we swapped out neurons for people? What kinds of complex problems could we solve? Omoju Miller offers a new vision for the global brain, where we harness human action for a better future.

Business forecasting using hybrid approach: A new forecasting method using deep learning and time series

February 4, 2020

Business forecasting generally employs machine learning methods for longer and nonlinear use cases and econometrics approaches for linear trends. Pasi Helenius and Larry Orimoloye outline a hybrid approach that combines deep learning and econometrics. This method is particularly useful in areas such as competitive event (CE) forecasting (e.g., in sports events political events).

Deep learning works well when you have large labeled datasets, but not every team has those assets. Paco Nathan offers an overview of active learning, an ML variant that incorporates human-in-the-loop computing. Active learning focuses input from human experts, leveraging intelligence already in the system, and provides systematic ways to explore and exploit uncertainty in your data.
