    It really depends the type of growth. Organic growth is driven by the quality of product therefore scaling issue comes later. But most venture-backed startup services such as O2O n…

    The high dimensionality is merely for the convenience of optimization, so that we get smoother manifold on which a good approximation solution can be found. In that regard, it is i…

    Well, if all GUI interactions can be automated, what would be our next human interface to computers/AIs?

    it is true that most recent success of deep neural network are in the regime where n, d are large. And we surely shouldn't fantasize general AI solved in this way. However, the ver…
